Description
Native to southern and western Europe, Milk Thistle has made itself at home
in North America and can be easily spotted with its prickly, glossy green leaves
and reddish purple thistle-like flowers. The seed coat has the highest
silymarian content – the active ingredient for which Milk Thistle is
known.
Once Milk Thistle reaches maturity, it develops seed clusters
which are scattered by the wind. For this tea, the seeds are harvested once
ripe, but before they can blow away, then ground to make a delicious
tea.
Many herbalists consider it beneficial to add a little bit of
Peppermint to this tea.
