Herbal Pennyworth Tea Recipe


This tea is made with freshly picked pennyworth leaves. It is one of the herbal teas the Food Forest Kitchen serves for free to our guests. Pennyworth tea is said to improve and help with poor memory, low mental abilities, anxiety, speech issues and sleeplessness. You can find the Pennyworth growing around the restaurant area of Eco-Logic Thailand and in and around the Special School building of the Thai Child Development Foundation. More information about the pennyworth plant can be found here.
