Druid Love Potion Tea
- 1/8 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 teaspoons black tea leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 fresh mint leaves
- 6 fresh rose petals
- 6 lemon leaves
- 3 cups mineral water
- sugar or honey, to taste
- Place all ingredients (except water and sweetener) in an earthenware or copper tea kettle.
- Boil the 3 cups of water and add to the kettle; sweeten with sugar or honey as you wish.
- Tea should be brewed on a Friday during a waxing moon (signifies moving from empty to full).
- And before drinking, recite this rhyme: "By the light of moon waxing, I brew this tea, to make (your honey's name; like "Ed", for example) desire me.
- "Then take a swig and say "Goddess of Love hear now my plea; let your honey's name desire me!
- So mote it be, so mote it be.
- "As you can probably guess,"mote" an old word for"might"; it's still used in some Freemason rituals.
- Then, the following Friday, whip up this tea again and give it to your honey, who will then begin to fall in love with you.
- If nothing else, you'll share a great cup of tea!
