This is a fairly common plant in the forests here. Wintergreen has a minty, spicy flavour and is quite distinctive when you bruise a leaf. I've never made tea from it although I've heard it's good. If I find a large enough patch of it perhaps I'l give it a whirl. I don't really want to strip all the leaves off of a single plant.
This is a fairly thick forest. The wintergreen is growing in a patch of light where a tree fell and made room.

not far from my waters…she shares the same name as the village near where I
live.
