  1. Tastes like hay and honey and a little like the meadow's own sweat. A blood-mover. An old friend to the lymph.

    My grandmother never called it a phytoestrogen.

    She'd have said it cools the blood, and she'd have been right on the merits.

    What do you reach for when the blood runs hot?

  2. Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn.

    Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise.

    A small handful of the dried heads in a mug, boiling water, capped ten minutes until it blushes rose-gold. A blood-cleanser, a steadier for the change-of-life years. Honey and hay on the tongue.
