A Most Unorthodox Way to Consume Tea
Here's what I do now and I love it--and nothing's
wasted. I put enough organic, white, loose-leaf tea
to make a cup of tea in a microwave bowl with two
cups of water, place it in the microwave and bring
it to a simmer. I simmer it for three minutes and
then I add about half a cup of Vanilla Soy Slender.
I then eat and drink it--ALL of it. I LOVE it, and the
caffeine effect lasts and lasts as if I'm continuously
drinking tea infused and consumed in the orthodox
manner.
Weird, huh? Does the idea freak you out? If
anyone here is crazy enough to try it, please let me
know how it goes down and how it makes you feel.
