Kawakawa tea for Matariki

 Today we made kawakawa tea. We sweetened our tea with Waka Honey.

"It smelt minty and nice" Brialla

"It smelt  like honey and leaves" Taite

"The leaves look like hearts and the tea is a bright sunflower colour" Vernica

Kawakawa is very healthy - used in traditional rongoa Maori for centuries. It's great for our coughs and colds.

Next we're going to make kawakawa balm.
