Okay, so I was hunting about for something to drink with my lunch of homemade faux egg drop soup. I wanted a green and wasn’t sure what to have and I saw that I hadn’t even opened this one yet. I figured my soup would be pretty bland and something with flavor would be nice with it.
This was soooo good. It is definitely vanilla up front and not lemon first for me, even though I saw a good bit of lemongrass in my strainer. It was perfect, too. Waves of nostalgia were hitting me so I knew it was reminding me of a tea I haven’t had in a long time. And after searching a bit, I found it. It reminds me of Wedding Tea by Harney and Sons, which is a white tea blend. Honestly, I think I prefer this one as the green base is every bit as smooth as their white, but I think this resteeped a lot better. It was….smooth, delightful, comforting, soothing…wow, it was just what I needed to slow me down and make me feel peaceful today.
Love!

This one is definitely in the running for my favorite CG variety…and that says a lot because I do not normally seek out green teas!
Ha ha! The egg was real! The recipe is faux because I am sure there must be much more the making real egg drop soup.
I used a half pack of ramen with no seasoning pack, and once the water is boiling I added the noodles and a tad of Chicken Better Than Bouillion. I beat an egg in a separate container just to break it up a little, and stir like mad as I slowly pour in the egg so it swirls in the hot soup, then it all goes in a bowl and gets a small sploosh of soy sauce to the middle,
Oh, ha! I was imagining some magical vegan alternative with aquafaba and cream of tarter or something!

Aquafaba – learned something new!
It’s magic bean water! I’m not a vegan, but I’m fascinated by the uses of aquafaba.
