Another recipe from our family cookbook, this one is from one of my brothers-in-law.
Sassafras Tea
1. Find yellow sassafras roots along fencerows. Dig roots.
2.Wash thoroughly.
3. Pound roots and place in boiling water.
4. Boil several minutes and sweeten to taste.
I like to take a little twig of sassafras and chew on the end. :)
The tea recipe sounds wonderful. I created a wonderful family cookbook using Family Cookbook Project and I could not be happier with how easy it was to get everyone in my family to contribute recipes and then have our family cookbook printed. Not only do we have a printed cookbook, but are recipes are online so it is easy to email them to friends that don’t have the cookbook available to them.
ReplyDeleteA family cookbook is something everyone can enjoy for many, many years!
It's also a great way to pass some family history down to the younger generations.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the recipe. :)
