Most of the recipes are written in parts to make 16 ounces of a tea blend. This way the reader can adjust the measurements for smaller or larger quantities. I love her description of her recipe notebook. She lists the processes for each blend along with her intentions. The step-by-step instructions are very thorough and easy to follow. She has inspired me to start blending again. This is a great book for anyone interested in blending and making their own herbal teas.
