A suggestion for those (like me) that are not so fond of taking herbal teas; I take my herbs powdered right from the spoon; to make them more palatable I mix them with some anise seed powder and some liqourice powder. This way they taste good; even the Triphala (yuk) is possible to take when mixed with anise seed.
I just got hold of some Jiaogulan; this taste very good, so do Pau D Arco when mixed with Anise/liqourice powder.
When I do make herbal teas; I like to mix them with spices; type indian chai or ginger, in this way I get it down easier.
