Anyone gather native plants for tea or other drinks?

My uncle makes a good sassafras tea.

Just clean the roots, and when dry cut into four-inch lengths and split. Place the roots in a saucepan filled with cold water. Place the pan on medium heat and when the water starts steaming, turn the heat down. In about an hour the oil from the roots will create a tea which you can strain into cups and serve, bets with lemon and honey.
