Mullein Leaf (Cut and Sifted)
Mullein, from the figwort family, grows in Eurasia and is now found in North America and Australia. Its soft leaves have given it nicknames like Velvet Dock and Velvet Plant. The Romans even used its tall flower stems as torches by dipping them in fat and igniting them. You can brew tea with dried mullein leaf or mix it with other herbs and spices for unique incense. Mullein leaf has a mild and slightly earthy flavor profile. Some people describe it as having a hint of sweetness and a mild bitterness. It's often used in herbal teas and remedies, not necessarily for its taste but for its potential health benefits.
