lovage lore

Love Potion #9

Grind one handful of lovage blossoms, leaves, stems and roots into a powder. For one cup of tea, pour boiling water over 1 tablespoon of powder, and let steep for 15 minutes. Offer and sip slowly.

@kali66 I'm guessing its a love potion, but could also be for something else!

@kali66 is it love or is it poison...
Thought it was parsley, don't know Lovage, but have found it on the RHS Gardening site and have bookmarked it. Might grow it this year.

saxa i dont use lovage much, it just comes up every year, it is quite aromatic, can be used in moderation to flavour soups and stews etc.

A lovely image. Regardless of what you actually do with the herb or greens. Smile.
