Dried wild rose hips work real good, especially if you can find the ones that have passed through the digestive system of a sasquatch. They are similar to the coffee beans that civit cats crap out.

Lots of info on google about making it - http://www.google.ca/search?q=how+to+make+wild+tea&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I've made pine needle tea. Taste is OK. Use the young needles at the end of the branch and steep about 20 minutes. High in vitamin C.

I make tea out of pearly everlasting - I pick in the late summer and hang to dry. Has a sweet smell and ends up like an earl grey.
