Reader, we think of a garden as giving us berries, flowers, and vegetables, and herbs… but some of the useful things are hiding tough we have already taken our harvest.

Blackcurrant bushes are a great example: we wait for the berries, and after picking them, that's it.

…but did you know that the blackcurrant leaves can become tea, iced tea, or even a homemade drink?

Being curious to use what you already have, or in this case, what is growing around you, is one of the key mindset shifts towards a more natural lifestyle, instead of always looking for something new to buy.

Sometimes living naturally is just that easy.

Just notice things around you.

• Gather
• Steep when fresh
• Dry, or freeze for later
• Make a flavourful drink with them

Start with things you already know, like the blackcurrant leaves. Following these simple steps, you can save a piece of summer for the winter that is coming.

Every day makes a difference ♡

PS. Blackcurrant leaf tea is just a beginning. If you want something more advanced, try this instead.
