anise hyssop

Anise-Hyssop

As its name suggests, this herb smells and tastes like licorice. Chopped leaves in salads, stews and sauces, as well as in tea, are believed to aid digestion and calm coughs.

Grow: Not only is anise-hyssop ideal for tea, but it will look nice in your garden, too. Plant it behind other herbs and flowers because it can grow to about 1 metre tall and you’ll want to see its pretty blue buds. It also produces lots of nectar, so it’s likely to attract bees, butterflies and, if you’re lucky, hummingbirds.

Drink: Both the leaves and flowers, dried, can be used in tea. Use about a teaspoon of dried anise-hyssop per cup of boiling water.

Your Spring Getaway Packing List, Done

You can start your stress-free vacation right now, as we’ve got you covered with a down-south packing list. Nothing sucks more than heading down south for a fun vacay, only to discover you forgot to pack something. You could spend money on buying what you need, but often these things will be more expensive. Or it can be more troublesome if you need something over-the-counter and you don’t know what exactly it is you are using or taking. (Health Canada is known to be one of the more strict countries when it comes to health claims on packaging.) So follow our list, and you’ll travel, not only comfortably, but also more relaxed knowing you have everything you’ll need.
