It's similar to mint, but a little -- I guess, milder. Sweetened or unsweetened, w/ sugar or honey. At leaves 5 l4aves to a cup of boiling water. Perfectly lovely.<br /><br />wv: podili<br />seems tea-ish somehow. a much nicer description than that"agony of the leaves" business. Put the leaves in the pot. Add boiling water.

Being spoiled is one of the best ways of learning to aim higher in our tastes and self-pamperings, I think!<br /><br />Keli-i - I grew up with rooibos and have since wandered away from it again. I used to take bath in it! I love the bergamot in Earl Grey, and like adding some to a really strong tea.<br /><br />Ms Princess - really? I must read about that. I was wondering what it might be helpful for.<br /><br />David - I love strong tea, too. The kind a teaspoon stands up in :-)My favourite right now is Ahmad English Afternoon tea, with a little bergamot. In South Africa, it is Five Roses, which might be the sweepings from the factory floor. Very fine, very strong! for your coffee, do you mean an individual little cone over your cup, because I love that, too. Maybe even more than my beloved stovetop espresso maker.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086277483606295046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-64278915146305711132010-01-05T19:26:54.892-05:002010-01-05T19:26:54.892-05:00This was a really interesting post.

I think green tea is what keeps me so healthy--I never get sick. I also like really strong British tea. I heard Scottish breakfast tea is the strongest, almost with a malty flavor. I also love coffee. made in a drip cone. I love talking about beverages!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358782621832676354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-75494337171015185892010-01-05T17:01:39.022-05:002010-01-05T17:01:39.022-05:00Oohh, excellent post.

I get it loose from a lovely old apothecary in town, and I carry emergency Stash tea bags in my purse. I love it with Moroccan food at Cafe Maroc.

Rooibos is one of my favorite teas, as well as tulsi rose and Earl Grey. <br /><br />Keli'iIkaikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490381907339678293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-62968599159855787132010-01-05T14:16:38.343-05:002010-01-05T14:16:38.343-05:00We are on the same wavelength - I just spent my lu...We are on the same wavelength - I just spent my lunch hour procuring all the ingredients needed for decent (hopefully) masala chai tea.
