| Notes: | Label source: A shrub found in dry woods from Canada to Florida. An infusion of the leaves is said to resemble ordinary tea both in colour and taste. It has been strongly recommended by many persons in the United States. One writer says - 'The tea prepar, ed from this shrub, drawn as common tea, is certainly a good substitute for indifferent black tea. Properly dried and prepared it is aromatic and not unpleasant.' To make tea from this shrub it is recommended that the leaves should be carefully dried in t, he shade. | ||||
