well the tea leaves might be a bit more difficult to get since tea bushes need a very specific climate to grow*

But personally having done it with mint, it's not cottagecore vibes in my case lol. I could get mint at the store and it would be most of the same (although I think I have Moroccan mint which is the best one imo and I can't always get it fresh at the store), it's just that growing it I always have leaves for my needs without needing a trip to the store, at least when it's in season lol

Think I'm gonna go make mint ice tea now though 🤔
