Remember when I told you about my trip to the ChineseCultural Center to get a personalized herbal tea? I keep forgetting to share how it all turned out.
In order to make the tea you boil the bag in 4 cups of water, and then put the pot on simmer until all but one cup of liquid remains. Then you strain out the backyard herbs and “enjoy”.
Let's be honest here... it literally tasted like I boiled my backyard. Nice and sludgey. Mmmmm.
But this tea was not created to taste good. It was intended to "increase circulation and give me more energy." I really have no quantitative way of measuring that... but I think I felt more energetic... ?
Or maybe that was the exercise... I don't know really.
Would I purchase this tea again? Probably not. It was gross.
But hey, it was an adventure, and I wouldn't change that.
