Hello Dhaaarlings...
Ever gotten home feeling footsore from a busy day gadding about and popped on Kettle and thought Ooh... A nice Cuppa will do the trick! Only to do a "Mother Hubbard" when you've dipped the hand into the tea caddy for a bag or scoop of leaves for the pot?
I have Dhaaarlings and there is nothing worse! I don't know about you...
But by this time I'm far too exhausted to backtrack to the local tea emporium for a parcel of Earl Grey or Oolong.
I have the answer to remedy this very situation for you...
Make your own Fresh Herb Tea.
Keep pots of fresh herbs growing in your garden or on a balcony.
I have Peppermint, Bergamot, Camomile, Mint, and Borage growing in my garden along with many other herbs. Most of them can be taken singularly or mixed in a combination to make a lovely refreshing, stimulating or relaxing tea
I just grab a handful of the herb that I feel I'm in the mood for, throw it in a coffee plunger and steep it in boiling water for one or two minutes then pour it into my favourite cup.
Sweetened with a little natural honey or a twist of lemon to taste!
Here's my favourite "Emergency" Herb Tea.
Grab yourself a handful of fresh peppermint, a glass coffee plunger, and some Brown sugar
I love making fresh peppermint tea and I always add some brown sugar to the mix before pouring in the boiling water and letting it steep.
let the brew stand/steep for 2-3 minutes
Pour it into your favourite Tea Cup then...
Take yourself to your favourite comfy chair pop your feet up on a comfy old poof, sit back and sip away to your hearts content...
I find nothing more relaxing than a hot home made cuppa after a hard day at the orifice...
Bottoms up Dhaaarlings...
