I've been making and drinking Mullein tea and it will give you a very nice, lightweight, mellow euphoric buzz.
It takes quite a bit of mullein to make a strong tea. I make mine in our little espresso maker and run just an ounce or two of water through it and then let the mullein sit and steep for about a 1/2 an hour or more, and then I run a full carafe of water through. I put a filter in the bottom of the coffee holder to keep the tiny hairs on the leaves out of the tea. A coffee filter will work fine but you'll have to cut it size.
After the first run of the water the tea will be a weak looking light green, but the 2nd round it will come out looking like a strong Black tea, and it tastes very similar to that. I add a teaspoon of raw honey to it and it's delicious.
You can buy it online but where I live it grows wild and is abundant and easy to find, and it can be found most everywhere in the U.S. and is very easy to ID.
Thanks! I used to grow mullein at the farm as a contract grower. I don’t know the final product, but it was used in some respiratory support tea. I have been getting more requests after CA wildfires but have paused herbal growing. I think it’s also used as a smoking herb to clear the lungs. It also creates a lot of mucus in the lungs/passages thus pushing out infections.
