The perfect cup of tea may be waiting for you in one if Indiana's 24 State Parks!
A unique hike at Fort Harrison State Park teaches visitors how to find ingredients safe for making tea. Park Naturalist Caitlin Stahl points out plants that make good teas and plants that would make someone sick.
Here's what she suggests for finding tea ingredients on an autumn hike:
Good for Tea
Goldenrod
White Pine
Rose Hips
Not Good for Tea
Bush Honeysuckle
Milkweed
Harvesting anything that harms the plant (leaves, flowers, roots) is not allowed on State Park property, but that berries, nuts, and seeds are fine to harvest.
