My quest to drink more rooibos to see if it will help carpal tunnel continues.
2 tsps of tea in 16 oz of water, with 2 tsps of rock sugar.
I think next time I will cut the sugar in half. It’s cloyingly sweet. Other than that, I like this tea. It’s chocolatey and bananay without being overly much so.
The steeped tea smells awful, though. Fair warning.
I’m a tea-aholic. I’ve always loved tea. It is soothing and warm and comforting. I always had it when we went out to eat as a child so my first association is with rich and delicious food.
As an adult, I’m learning to enjoy tea on its own merits, and bask in its subtleties and varieties. The ritual of making a cup of tea is instantly relaxing.
I prefer oolong and white teas, followed by greens. For the most part, I don’t like straight black tea, but appreciate it as part of a blend or flavored. I’ve learned to love the world of flavored teas out there.
I’m slowly learning to appreciate rooibos blends, which I started drinking for its anti-inflammatory properties.
