About this title

Synopsis

Whether you grow your own herbs or purchase them in stores, this practical handbook shows how to make hundreds of teas, syrups, conserves, pies, candied flowers and leaves, wines, sweet waters, and perfumes. Most of the recipes are taken from old English herbals while the author adds many of her own 20th century creations.
