Horsetail is a non-flowering plant that is commonly cultivated and harvested in several continents, including Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America. It grows well in moist areas with chalky soil. Horsetail is a derivative of larger plants that grew during the Carboniferous period over 300 million years ago. The plant contains silica, which is what gives it a gritty texture.
Horsetail is prized by herbalists and used with a wide variety of other wholesome herbs in herbal tea blends. Horsetail is commonly made as a tea, but it can be infused into other herbal products such as vinegars and tonics.
Horsetail can be used to make a warm, relaxing drink with a mild, herbaceous aroma. It is caffeine-free.
