Tea

As the weather begins to cool and fall settles in I enjoy a tea or two during the day. Chamomile before bed, a nice herbal mix later in the afternoon. Problem is, herbal teas are a very grey area when it comes to whether or not they are safe to drink. It all depends what book or source you read, everyone has a different opinion.

Now I have switched to a decaf latte in the mornings just fine, a bit of caffeine is allowed but I feel guilty so the switch is an easy one. As well, I don't usually need coffee to get going in the mornings, I just enjoy it and same goes for a tea.

So far I have been boiling up some fresh ginger and adding lemon and honey, mint tea is the only one that is universally agreed upon and today I have made up a cranberry juice (the unsweetened kind) with lemon, honey and hot water. Looks like these three will be on regular rotation for the winter.

  1. I'm really liking Yogi tea's roobois chai. I read that in Africa roobois is considered the pregnancy drink, helps with 'stuff' (Rizo is a zombie and has eaten my brain...I don't remember details)do you like any of the Starbucks herbal teas? I can get you a box or so with my weekly markout.
