Using our pineapple sage with Year Three

 Today Year 3 continued our inquiry into how we can use the herbs we grow in the Mara Kai. We discovered the amazing history of tea beginning 6 thousand years ago in China and spreading ALL over the world.

Next we picked pineapple sage and made it into refreshing cold fusion tea.

Maddison " The tea smelt like pineapple gummies" 

Camellia "The tea tasted a little bit like pineapple"

Chase "It smelt like pineapple but it tasted like water"

Tino "It smelt like juice"

Annabelle "A man in China poisoned himself and a tea leaf floated into his mouth and saved him"

Alice "Shennong invented tea 6 thousand years ago"

Pineapple sage is like it's cousin mint and as well as having alovely aroma is great for stomach issues. Next time we are looking forward to exploring Maori Rongoa by using our kawakawa.
