Smilax Medica (Mexican
variety)
As I searched for a way to
make the flavor of my tea more palatable, I thought about how many roots I was using and then thought of the best old fashioned
root flavor, sarsaparilla. This is one of the major flavors in root beer. I found that the sarsaparilla that is used for commercial
beverages is an Indian variety but the version of the plant that grows in Mexico and Honduras, while a little more acrid or
bitter, actually has some very nice tonic qualities, too, including a very mild diuretic property that assists in kidney
cleansing and whole body detoxification. Fortunately, it rounded out the flavor of Zana13. as well. I recently added a new link. This is one of the times Wikipedia
is really not an authority. Smilax Medica is not the plant they are talking about
