Very nearly any plant that is aromatic, and has a pleasant taste can and often is used to make "tea".
Many plants with known medicinal properties are made into "tea" in spite of their not always having the best taste.
In the case of medicinal teas, the herbalist will often add a strong flavoured herb and or sweetener to mask the unpleasant flavour.
The only plants that should not be used to make tea, are plants known to be poisonous, harmful, or hallucinogenic.
