Peace and blessings everyone. I hope everyone is doing fine. It's Caribbean Ducks here. I'm out in the garden to show you this amazing plant. Many of you are familiar with it a little bit. We use it in recipes. So all of my West Indian people, Caribbean people are very familiar with this, right? This is our Broadleaf Thyme, Spanish Oregano, Indian Borage. It goes by many other names, right? So it's a very easy plant to grow. Just break off a stem just like this, put it in some water or soil, make sure it's well drained and you'll have a new plant in no time, right? They'll have roots coming out right on the bottom here and you can have bountiful plants all year long. So if you live in the winter area where it's cold, keep it indoor, keep it in a pot, keep it next to your window and you can have a lovely medicinal plant like this, Broadleaf Thyme. I'm going to give you 8 reasons why you should plant this and what you can use it for. This rich aromatic plant has a combination taste of oregano, mint and thyme, but it has no relations with oregano. It's actually related to mint.

This is how I prepare my tea in a pot with two cups of water. I add some soursop leaves and some lemongrass and then I go in with my broad leaf thyme, cover it down, bring it up to a boil and now I cover it down, turn the heat off and let it steep for about an hour. Then I pour it into a cup. You can have cold or hot and now we can sweeten to taste a little bit of honey and we can enjoy a nice cup of bedtime tea. So guys, flu season is coming up on us.
