Let's talk about tea!

In the summer I enjoy fresh peppermint tea (mint seems to be one of the few plants that grow in my garden ๐Ÿ˜ญ). Now that the mint is dormant, I've been mixing oolang (for its health benefits) with jasmine and rooibos to soften the flavor.

Also, I love my electric kettle, it makes boiling water so quick and easy!

The photo is my most treasured tea pot which I inherited from my grandma. Let's see your beautiful tea related china!

We really tried to grow lemon verbena and I wish it had done well enough to make tea. If it's that good I might try again! I think we need to try a spot with less intense sun and make sure it doesn't dry out too much.
