#21 Turmeric Tea 1 week ago

Tumeric is my latest fascination. I see it becoming the next ‘it’ herb and sparking a health ignited consumer craze of this herb you can get a pound of for a dollar at the small indian grocery (you can also get it fresh specially? I don’t know I haven’t gone that far yet!) It’s that yellow powder that gives mustard, curries, and many dishes their beautiful coloring. It has strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. In fact my friend from India said it’s used on skin rashes, cuts, and acne. I’ve put it on my face as a mask (and was yellow for a couple of days) but wow good results!

So I found a can of tumeric tea in the vitamin store marketed by ito en. I paid 3.99 for it. Turmeric is an acquired tasted so it wasn’t too easy to drink but after I finished I kind of wanted more. But what did I actually drink? I didn’t taste any tea! Yes the 3.99 ‘turmeric tea’ was distilled water, ascorbic acid, and turmeric. DAMNNN you can make this at home!

I decided to go for a real tea with turmeric – a plain white or green tea that is really leafy in taste I like most with this. (I’m using bonjemi white I got at asian mart). Last I add my ascorbic acid (slice of lemon). Turmeric is interesting as a brew on it’s own, interesting is good/bad… but I can say brewed with green/white tea this is really heavenly combination. If anyone is interested in trying this, a little turmeric goes a long way! Start with just a tinyyy pinch if you aren’t familiar with it’s taste.

#20 Twinnings Lady Grey 1 month ago

yum yum yum another tea in the earl family (If it was a family I’d be their adopted child… I drink so much earls!) found this box unexpectadly in my cupboard and it has become one of my daily drinking teas. It has a floral orangey flavor, the bergamot is subdued. 8/10

#19 Tulsi Green Pomegranite 1 month ago

A while ago I reviewed the tulsi tea. An herbal tea of tulsi basil which is something almost worshipped for its health benefits. It was so bad tasting to me I couldn’t drink it to get those benefits, but I came across the Tulsi Green pomegranite tea. And thought I’d get the chance to get benefits of tulsi while the green tea and pomegranite will distract me from the basil taste. Well it does so very well. I like this tea a lot!! It’s an interesting combination. 6/10
