And... can I use them to make a herbal tea? They smell nice.

Yes, birch trees! I haven't tried it myself. And no problem! I have a big collection of books and love to share :D

Cool! I'll read about it.

Tilia tea I've tried, but I think I used Tilia americana. I remember that that tee might possibly help to sleep.

The Alliaria petiolata I do see a lot around where I live! There is also a park nearby that has carpets of Allium ursinum, which also taste like garlic. I really like them.

Achillea millefolium is suuuuper common now and easy to find. Such a great list! Thanks again :D

I cannot confirm nor deny that I have relocated some Allium ursinum from my local forest to my garden 😅 I have some herb butter I made with it in the fridge now! I make a lot in the spring, and put it in the freezer in small batches for later.
