Basically, if you were to smoke these herbs alone full strength they wouldn’t taste good. They may even be irritating this way. Only add a little to the mixture and taste it. Just take a little experiment to find your own special flavor and strength. Go light handed at first.
- Lemon Balm - This is an herb often escaped from gardens and easy to find in the Pacific Northwest growing wild in cities. It is a very mild and friendly calming herb that will add a peaceful lemony flavor to any blend.
- Yerba Buena - This is a good herb for flavoring that grows in the coastal west. It should not be confused with peppermint, which is also sometimes called Yerba Buena. It has a menthol flavor that should satisfy those people who like Kools.
- Lavender - Use the flowers and rub them if you wish. I love the smell of lavender but I hate the taste of smoked dried lavender. Perhaps you will love it, feel free to check it out.
- Sweet Cicely - This is another local Pacific Northwest plant with a pleasant aromatic anise flavor. You can use the root dried, powdered if it smells good. Seeds are also useful.
