Tea seemed like a good idea.

I do use lemon verbena and various kinds of mint in teas--and once I even made a tea from scented geranium leaves that was very good. I mostly like to walk out and pinch a leaf from this or that to crush and smell. I love the smell of sage, for instance--and basil, and rosemary, and bay, and epazote....
