tea recipe




this is an easy one

1 part milky oat tops
1/2 part jasmine flowers

steep for at least 10 minutes...i go for 30 though. :)

refreshing iced in the afternoon....but my favorite is hot taken an hour or two before bed after a very very very long day. i wrap my hands around a cup and just inhale for a bit before i take a sip...the tea is elegant but comforting as well.
oats are traditionally used when one is suffering from nervous exhaustion; they have a delicately sweet taste.
jasmine, (besides smelling and tasting amazing in tea) is traditionally used as a gentle anti-inflammatory. it can be mildly sedating for some but i find it more relaxing. jasmine should not be consumed by women who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant.
