Thoughts on Artemesia

[nightrythm]

I made a tea from a spoonful of dry herb Artemisia Alba last night. *shudder* Holy crap that stuff was awful. I spit it out immediately. It did not taste the way I remember. The fresh herb was much greener and really only used a sprig or two. It was still increadibly unpleasant but tolerable when buried under mounds of honey.

I will need to experiment tonight, using the Artemesia Vulgaris (which is green) instead of the Artemesia Alba (which was brown) and use less herb.

What's the relationship between say, mugwort and A. tridentata, or Mojave desert sagebrush?
