It is actually a flower. I make tea from it all the time. It has
a bitter taste (like beer, surprise).

Why do you make tea from it? Does it help with your wife's milk supply
or does it have any other benefits? Where do you get these flowers?
Any store (in USA)? How do you make tea?

Thanks.

I dont know the benifit of hopps and milk supply but I can tell you that you
can find it at a home brew store. I dont know where you live but I live in the
Dallas area and there are several home brew stores around and they carry hopps.

My DH was able to buy it in bulk from a natural-foods co-op. In his case,
he used it to brew his own beer. ;)
