What are tree candles?  I have never heard that term before.  Also, I
forget what kind of jams you make.  I might be also interested in some
of the recipes. I know this is not the cooking echo, but I am always
looking for new ways to do things.  Also, now that I am working out of
my home, I hope to have more time to devote to such things.

Are you sure you didn't put anything else in the tea?  I never use
sprays around the garden.  The only things we use in the backyard is a
weed killer for areas around the pool.  Our back is almost all ashfalt
anyway so we don't have much to worry about.
 CG> drinking a brew of something awful.
did the tea taste any differently?  I would have thought it would have
if it was that strong.  
Perhaps you should consider freezing this batch.  I have had much
success freezing herbs in bags of water.  That also seems to keep them
fresher.
good luck
Barb
