[EatTheWeeds]

After viewing your video i was witnessed by a bunch of people harvesting some kudzu by the side of a not-very-used road... I think I shall be forever known as the Crazy-Kudzu-Lady. Anyway, I have found Kudzu blossom tea to be my favorite tea ever, is it possible to dry the blossoms for use later in the year?

[EatTheWeeds]

@ThatCrowGirl The blossoms can be dried.. died, one letter different... but fresh is always better.

It sounds better than pest we have here that has no uses, fragrance nor pretty flowers, Red Vine---wish Kudzu would suffocate it!!!
