This really depends on your climate / location, because different herbs have different growing conditions that they need.
In cool / colder, humid climates, like the northeast, upper midwest, and pacific northwest, some of the easiest herbs to grow are the mints: spearmint, peppermint, and mint-family relatives like lemon balm. In dryer climates you can still grow these but they don’t do as well. Rosemary and thyme do well in dryer climates, as does sage.
If you’re in a warmer climate, you can try growing pineapple sage…and basil or holy basil also grows well (and you can make tea out of it).
Chamomile is also easy to grow…it can grow in very poor soil, if your yard has poor soil, but it needs a lot of sun.
It really depends on the conditions of your yard and the climate of your location.

I hope you find this helpful!
There’s so many!
But a few I love to have is
Chamomile
Lemon Balm
Mint
Lavender
Lemon Grass
Hibiscus (Yes it’s a flower but is great when mixed with rose hips and is nor poisonous)
Pennyroyal
Rasberry leaves
Verbena
Yarrow
St, Johns Wort
Lemon Thyme
Spruce
Most of these are very easy to grow with little care as long as you water them, and they’re perfect for teas.
