Hello Coffee and tea lovers,

Would you believe that I literally woke up in the middle of the night πŸŒƒ and decided to brew some tea. It's a mix of grated ginger, herbal tea(caffeine free) and hot water.
I'm not sure why but maybe it's a combination of the change in temperature or having alot on my mind.

While steeping the tea, I couldn't help noticing my wife's mint which she placed on the kitchen counter. It seems to be doing very well. When she brought them home from her day trip at a school in the northern park of Kobe they were wiltering. It's amazing how they look now because all she did was place them in a cup of water and plopped it on the counter.

It's like a magician at work. Oh the wonders of nature.They say water is life.After witnessing this I would definitely agree that water is indeed life.

This tea blend is so good. I should go back to bed but I'll just have one more cup.

Just one more cup. Ahh delicious πŸ˜‹
By the way how long do you usually steep your tea?

Hopefully this one off late night tea brewing doesn't develope into a bad habit. Now would you look at the time.Well... I have to go back to get some sleep.

Until next time, stay connected, stay healthy.

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and whatever calls you, and getting up to brew tea seems like a legit calling:)

It is pretty neat how plants can bounce back when put in water like that mint did.

Your tea sounds good πŸ‘

I really like this type of tea, especially the chamomile tea with honey, although they are all excellent πŸ‘Œ.

Looks like you had a nice little tea time. That honey vanilla chamomile must had gone well with ginger. πŸ˜‹
The mint is really doing well. Almost two weeks in just water and it’s thriving. Hope to plant it soon. I thought they were β€œdead”. They were so wilted at first. Water is indeed life.
Have a great day. πŸ˜ƒ

Mint tea is great for the health, my aunt use it a lot, and it usually feels like a refreshing drink that lift the spirit a bit :)

I've tried many teas, herbal and not, trying to find some that I liked. But no matter how long I steep it, it just tastes like contaminated hot water to me. πŸ˜‚ As in, the flavor is so weak it just tastes like something is wrong with the water.
I even researched online and the advice was Irish Breakfast tea is the strongest, notably the kind they actually sell in Ireland, which we can't get here, but the internet also said that a brand we do have from Trader Joe's is the closest you can get in the states. One review said of you steep it for three minutes it will be as strong as mud. I said, that's the one I want.
Nope, still not strong enough. πŸ˜‚ So I guess I'm not a tea person. Some of them smell really good, though.
I don't like those flavored waters either for the same reason. It's like ...homeopathy water to me. 🀣
I wish I could drink tea, which is why I keep trying. So many herbals are good for you and it's low cal unless you dump in a lot of sugar. But alas!

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the LUV. I'm sorry about your experience with tea.
Does that mean you are a coffee person @phoenixwren?

Only when it's mixed in with other things - I make my daily protein shake with coffee. But there is also yogurt, whey, cocoa, sugar, and ice. :)
