I love cilantro.
Just like with many others… It tastes like soap to me.
I love it though. It feels clean.
And I like to think when I am eating it, it is balancing out whatever crap I have paired it with for a meal… Making it less destructive on me.
But because I don’t cook much these days, I will always find myself with practically a whole bunch of the fresh herb after using a small amount in whatever I made. And it lingers in the fridge till it gets droopy and wilted.
Which is why I started just making a tea with it. Really, with any herbs I have left over from cooking.
Sage… Parsley… Thyme… Rosemary… Cilantro.
I have yet to try dill tea. Or chive tea. Those herbs are easily frozen for later use. But now that I think about it, I do like the juice from a dill pickle jar. So maybe I would like dill tea?
I mean, if I can love the soapy scrubbing I imagine my body gets from drinking cilantro tea… A crisp dill tea surely has to have some benefits.
Yes?
