Today I found a massive colony of invasive Dames Rocket and decided to bring some back to try to make a tea from them. (slrpnk.net)

Oh cool!! How was the tea? I love Dames Rocket. I know it's invasive but I do love to see the patches of them in my area... and because they're invasive I pick as many as I can to become bouquets hehe

Honestly the tea was mid. I might try different things to see if I can make it better for me, but I vastly prefer dandelion tea.

The flower itself is beautiful though, and it smells amazing, the tea just isn't doing it for me though.

Honestly, the rocket/arugula split is fascinating from an etymology perspective
