Dill Tea

Ever had Dill tea? Here’s another herb that you can use both the seeds and the leaves. Both of these parts have a sharp, slightly bitter taste. (But then who among us doesn’t know the taste of dill?)

Whether you use it fresh or dried, you’ll find it a most tasty addition to fish, meat and poultry dishes. But don’t be afraid to add it to salads and soups as well. And many people use the leaves in potatoes and even in omelets. Another way to enjoy the unique taste of this herb is to sprinkle a little dill on sliced cucumbers for sue as a sandwich filling.

Dill is another easy plant to grow from seed. Plant your seeds in the early spring, about ¼ inch deep. You’ll want to make sure you leave at least 9 inches between these seeds. Once the seedlings appear, be sure to thin them, keeping them that 9 inches apart.
