Happy travelling Bay.

Carol Dee once sent me some dried mint from her garden. That was the best cup of mint tea I've ever had! She said she just put mint in a paper bag to let it dry.

I really need to plant my mint

How many leaves should I use for the tea?

I’m avoiding chamomile for the moment because several family members have allergies to it …I have a pretty severe skin allergy to lavender and I’d hate to see what it would do to my insides

Good Grief. Lavender and Chamomile … but not tea, an air freshener:

Deadly infection linked to contaminated room spray sold at Walmart

Four cases of a serious, sometimes fatal infection that have bedeviled public health investigators for months appear to have been linked to a room spray sold at Walmart.

Good Morning.

I'm having a cup of chamomile and spearmint (Sleepytime®) tea with my second breakfast .

This will be a test ... Later in the day is when I usually drink this stuff. But yesterday, I was so drowsy through the day, we will see if this cuppa puts me to sleep before noon!

I'll trust the boiling water to kill any bacteria . (See above)

who enjoys this herbal tea but suspects that it isn't the mint

@baymule is back from Corpus Christi. Was it an okay trip?

I want to report on my coffee and tea alternatives. The chamomile and spearmint tea for breakfast did not result in me dozing off. Breakfast isn't immediately after rising to greet the day but well before sunrise at this time of year (DST/fall). I had so much morning drowsiness drinking 3 cups of tea the day before but none with the C&S. Maybe I'm "chamomile immune" just as I may be "caffeine immune."

The roasted dandelion root was ... not good. I was really questioning whether I found it acceptable as an addition to coffee or as an alternative. It has been years since the last trial and I have never had much to experiment with. Well, now I'm convinced it was WITH coffee.

I'll try the dandelion with coffee soon. (It's always been my intention to reduce stress on my stomach as well as satisfying my curiosity . Maybe I'll invest in growing a chicory crop again. This looking around for suitable dandelions is not very productive.)

Still haven’t been able to make it to the store to look for some different tea. I’ve gone back to drinking coffee in the meanwhile.

I had my coffee again in the laundry room this morning, and the flowers on the window sill are pretty.

After harvesting some green onions and mints from the vertical planters in the chicken run, I made myself a tea with fresh mints, dried rose petals, and sweet Osmanthus in sugar (the simple way to preserve them). It's very refreshing.

Yes I’m back! Had a nice visit with DD and DSIL. Enjoyed the granddaughters and we played, did crafts and whatever they wanted to do. Got back late Monday.
Been raining all morning. About to go outside and feed/water sheep. Y’all have a great afternoon!
