Todays Tea actually is yesterdays tea.? I had a early start yesterday with MPG and was not able to even consider a tea until I was back home and preparing to go out to dinner with my husband at one of our favorite locale restaurants, Jake's Good Eats. Which by the way will be featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives either this month or next.
My choice was FOXTROT- which is not listed on the website but it soon will be. It is a house blend . The elements are combined to create a simple, palatable beverage that will aid in sleep. I choose it because the previous night I found myself unable to sleep for most of the night( anxiety) . I have a lot of Changes going on right now.
Several years back I embarked on a study of herbal teas. I have always had the desire to possess the knowledge to be able to put together blends of herbs that would heal. One of my favorite herbalist is Brigitte Mars,A.H.G.. Her book Healing Herbal Teas, a complete guide to making delicious, healthful Beverages, was great. Another get book Herbal Teas-101 Nourishing Blends for Daily Health & Vitality by Kathleen Brown and Jean Palatable was inspiring. However, what I often found when you start to blend healthy herbals teas is the Taste. Most often there isn't anything more than straw taste.
However, with the introduction of Rooibos to my knowledge and it's many flavors provided by my main purveyor ,additional health and taste make many of my blends palatable.
Foxtrot is a simple blend of Chamomile, peppermint and Rooibos. So here is the Scoop
Chamomile has a honey like flavor that is famous as a calmative, Peppermint is minty and rooibos, while often has the smell of creamulsion, the blend is delicate with only a slight hint of mint. It is smooth and light. I can drink it without a sweetener, however honey would make this and excellent beverage. I had a cup before dinner, which Chamomile and peppermint are both digestive aids so there was an added benefit. When I returned home I had another cup . I went to bed and sleep all night , which does not happen because I have to empty my bladder in the middle of the night, this is an age thing.
I will be posting additional info on each element later.
Drinks Oceans of Tea for the Health of it and remember we encourage heavy drinking
