Parker’s Evening Blend- St Jude Fundraiser
Parker has asked me for this blend several times and I’m so happy to be recreating this blend for him and donating all of the proceeds from the sale of this tea to St Jude Children’s Hospital.
Ingredients: Chamomile, Peppermint, Butterfly Pea Flower, Lemongrass, Honey Granules
Company description not available.
After two days of too much good food and too little physical exertion, I was feeling a little like an overstuffed piece of furniture last night. Needed a nightcap that would help with the bloated, bloodgie feeling. This did the trick.
This little herbal blend is lovely on the eyes—blue like my beat-up flannel bathrobe, a titch minty to soothe the stomach, whole chamomile flowers, and a little honey to soften it and distinguish it from other nighttime blends. Normally and unfortunately, chamomile doesn’t have much of a sedative effect on me, but I slept better and woke up lighter and brighter…so the tea was at least part of the cure.
A little history:
Nearly twenty years ago I was a cake decorator. I also worked a seasonal job in a bakery during one fall semester of university. I hate baking. I love when other people bake for me. Not tonight.
Something stirred within me and I’m baking a damned lemon poundcake. It’s maybe 5 minutes from being transferred to a cooling rack. I got a little wild and made a lavender-lemon-Parker’s Evening Blend glaze. I really wanted to utilize the blue dyeing property of the butterfly pea flower and then remembered reading that lemon juice changes the blue to some other color. So my glaze is a light pink. Which probably won’t show up against the golden brown of the poundcake but daaaamn is that glaze delicious.
I can’t wait. It’s like 930 pm and I’m so stoked for this.
That cake sounds really good!
Did you save me a piece?
Sounds delicous! Sometimes we do things we don’t really enjoy to find out it’s actually very nice to do (but not always). I hope it was great.
That sounds amazing! I just had a neighbor over (distanced and out of doors) For French Grandmother’s Lemon Yogurt Cake with lemon glaze. How I wish I had thought of doing it your way! Maybe next time! It sounds dreamy.
It is delicious.
gmathis: Half the cake left, it’s going fast. Better come over for a slice ;)
ashmanra: That’s pretty much what I made, though with the addition of a cup of butter. Hope you enjoyed yours!
Bloodgie.
And you knew exactly what I meant, didn’t you? ;)
