a couple of weeks ago, coltsfoot starting popping up all over the place around here. it looks deceptively like dandelion from afar but once you see it up close you can spot the differences. i harvested a bunch and have hung it to dry in our basement. coltsfoot can be used as a tea or tincture to treat chest colds, coughs and bronchitis among others. it's weird, i haven't been sick in ages but all of a sudden i've come down with a cold/cough that started in my chest and fits a coltsfoot picture pretty perfectly so i've been drinking coltsfoot tea with thyme and raw honey for a couple of days. it has a really gentle flavour and the combination is really nice. kind of a strange coincidence...
