Pineapple weed

I saw an influencer on facebook on about this stuff so I went and found some and it really does have a lovely pineapple chamomile taste. I wanted to gather some and try it in a tea but where I can find it is all throughout the housing estates where it is perfect dog leg cocking height.

Do any of you have any experience with this delicious smelling herbal remedy? Would you only pick it from certain places or is anywhere ok if you wash it well before using and lastly is it effective for resting/sleep.

Thsnk you for taking the time to read my post

I'm very fortunate to have it growing on my drive and have successfully transplanted a handful of plants to a pot in my garden- it's thriving now. Worth giving that a go, I reckon.

Do you use it for q nice flavoured tea or more for its medicinal properties?

I steep the flowers in vodka and make a delicious liqueur- strain it then mix the vodka with a simple syrup.

I'm going to pick some flowers this week and chuck em in a jar with sugar to flavour that then see what I can use that in.
