I recently posted a blog about how to make your own tea, http://teamsugar.com/user/fashionhore/blog/1673336, and now I want to let you all in on the flavors of the most common herbs and how to grow them and such. To preserve much space, and keep you all from reading a novel, I am going to direct you to www.wikihow.com or www.ehow.com to learn about cultivating certain herbs properly.

Now to get to the herb descriptions.
-Anise hyssop is licoricey in flavor and is a natural sweetener for any tea. It is best used with mints, lemon balm, rose petals, and chamomile.
-Basil is kind of a peppery-mint flavor that blends well with mints, lemon balm or jasmine green tea.
-Bee balm is similar to black tea with a citrus, thyme flavor. It blends well with mints.
-(German) chamomile gives a pineapple-like taste and blends well with mints, alfalfa and lemon balm.
-Hibiscus is a light, sweet fruity flavored flower. I am not sure what to mix this with since I cound't find anything referring to mixing it with other herbs to create a decent balance.
-Lady's mantle is mild and resembles Chinese tea. Combine this with mints, lemon balm, hibiscus, and raspberry leaves.-
-Lemon balm is obviously a very bright lemon flavor that is a tad bitter. Combine this with mints or any lemony herbs to help take down the bitterness of this herb.
-Lemongrass also tastes like lemons as well and can be mixed with mints or other lemony herbs.
-Mints also have an obvious flavor and blends well with chamomile and bland herbs like nettle as well as any other mints relatives.
-Rose hips is very floral and sweet tasting. I am not sure what they should be mixed herb-wise, but I know they go well with fruits.

There are plenty more herbs and flowers out there to cultivate and add to your homemade teas, but these are just the most common of the bunch according to the few articles I read about the topic.
