"thick, fibrous and nasty" sounds like collards and/or kale.  Bv)=

      Title: Rosemary's Root Beer Tonic
 Categories: Beverages, Herbs, Citrus
      Yield: 4 Cups
 
      3 oz Sassafras Bark; dried
      2 oz Sarsaparilla; dried
      1 oz Dandelion Root; dried
      1 oz Burdock Root; dried
    1/2 oz Ground Ginger
    1/2 oz Ground Cinnamon
    1/4 oz Orange Peel; dried
 
  This sweet, bracing drink from Rosemary Gladstar Slick
  is reminiscent of old-fashioned root beer, due to the
  sassafras. It has a cleansing, revivifying effect
  from the dandelion, burdock and sarsaparilla.
  
  Mix together all ingredients and store in a tightly
  closed container. In a large pot combine 1 quart of
  water and 4 tablespoons of dry mixture. Bring to a
  boil, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain
  and sweeten with honey or stevia (also called "sweet
  herb") if desired.
  
  Makes about 4 cups
  
  VARIATION:  For iced tea, chill the simmered mixture,
  then dilute it with 1 quart of sparkling water.  Serve
  over ice with a twist of orange peel.
