Maramiya Shatora - Palestinian Tea

 I came across this strange looking item in the supermarket - maramiya shatora.

Did some quick research on the Internet.  It's basically dried sage.  Apparently used for tea by Palestinians.  (Click on the picture to see the distinctive sage leaf shape)

From this article from the Paliroots website: "Brewed with water, sage is also used as a gargle for gingivitis, tonsillitis, and a sore throat." 
 
Might try it one day.
