Hops (Humulus lupulus)

Hops is one of the few bitter herbs that we are familiar with in north american culture. All of the bitter herbs stimulate digestion, hence half a glass of bitter ale before dinner might be a good idea! Hops also has some sedative action, so is a nice bedtime tea, and a great addition to many of my dream pillows. I grow a "wall" of hops on a large cedar trellis that leans against the front porch of the house. By the time it's hot outside, I have a cool, living green wall to lounge behind, reading & sipping something cold. Mmmm. 1 oz dried buds
