Dear Herb Companion, 

Nothing makes me happier than having a cup of lemon balm tea and The Herb Companion. I love crafting and need some ideas for the winter doldrums besides potpourri. Perhaps your readers can help. The Citrus Almond-Basil Cake, from your September 2009 article “Budget-Friendly Meals: 12 Great Recipes,” was delightful. Your magazine lifts my spirits.

Thanks, Lena! To share craft ideas, e-mail editor@herbcompanion.com. —Eds.

Where can I purchase the jars you used in the September 2009 article “4 Recipes for Quick Pickles?”
—Yana Vinnitsky, Buellton, California

You can purchase these jars from J. WECK Company, www.weckcanning.com; (815) 356-8440. —Eds. 

I am searching for a product called ImmuniTea, made by allGoode Organics. Do you know where I can find it?
—Beth Freese, Lake Elsinore, California

Unfortunately, allGoode Organics closed in 2005. Find a recipe similar to Immuni-Tea in the book Healing Herbal Teas (Basic Health Publications, 2005), written by the herbalist behind allGoode Organics, Brigitte Mars. —Eds. 

My granddaughter, goddaughter and I loved the July 2009 article “Simple, Plant-Based Fragrances: DIY.” We found that a canning processor makes a good still. Put the water in the canner, add leaves/petals in the bottom, place dish on the rack and put ice in the inverted lid. (Use a turkey baster to remove water from the inverted lid rather than emptying the hot lid.)
