yesterday evening, i was trying to soothe my headache... and ended up concocting a somewhat soothing but strange tea-cordial mix.... got carried away... as you will soon realise.
started with a Twinnings Lotus Green Tea bag which got too strong in my wee cup so i transferred into my tumbler and added more hot water to dilute the tannic effect.... added a spoon of sugar... and then spotted the bag of "Apfel-Zitronen-Tee" (apple-lemon-tea) which Sabine left behind and added a heapful of it into the tea-sieve and lowered into the tea-bath... and then i thought i should just finish up the "Winter berry Cordial" that Ruth brought over last winter -- which tastes abit like mulled-wine or kinderpunch -- since the weather is rather wintry at the moment... stormy and all.... but the broth kind of tasted a bit too acidic... so i then added a Twinnings Camomile and Honey Tea bag in attempt to neutralise the solution a little... and actually... it tastes quite interesting... and a bit of Green & Black's White Chocolate with vanilla bourbon to nibble... and i thought i was feeling a lot better. ... gosh... trust me to do a tea-cocktail. ... maybe i'll come up with other more palatable tea-cocktail recipes another day... this one is totally random. try it at your own risk. :cx
this morning as i was doing the dishes, i realised i could have just taken a paracetamol... but to be honest, i feel better after a restful sleep... or was it the tea?
