The Daily Tea #10

Dandelion Root Tea

My favorite herb/flower/weed, call it what you will. I adore dandelion root tea.

When I need a good cleanse or a bitter coffee-ish taste without the caffeine, I reach for roasted dandelion root tea.

Dandelion cleanses the liver and kidneys, flushing everything out. They're also called piss-a-beds for this reason. They're a diuretic (increases urine flow).

I always make sure I have some form of dandelion on hand (roasted, leaf or root, raw herb, or tea bags).

I highly suggest roasting the root yourself in your oven - your whole house will have a delightful chocolatey smell to it.

This plant has so many vitamins and health benefits to it. The fact that homeowners and gardeners rip this plant out is the biggest bit of proof that we are so disconnected from nature, it's insane.

I could go on all day about dandelions, but see for yourself. You can also eat the plants raw (every single bit is edible just obviously make sure it hasn't been sprayed with pesticides).

Today’s tea: Earl Grey

I am now the owner of the worlds best tea mug! I love it and I am so happy!!!

For anyone interested, I bought the mug from Trenchgirlcrafts on Etsy.

Things are picking up class wise and the university is starting to finalize the plans for our first on-campus classes.

Although, my class buildings have changed and I’m now worried about making it across campus between classes in time.

I’m considering putting a bike rack on my car or possible rollerblading across the campus. Votes?

I’ve been posting my daily herbal infusions in my Insta stories recently ✨

It’s helped keep me motivated to pay attention to what I’m putting in the blend each day, instead of just reaching for old fabourites.

Plus, it’s so ✨pretty✨

This is your daily reminder to never trust capitalism and celebrities that really don’t care about lower class people, poc, religion or culture. 

Reminder to always look for hints of fake wokeness from celebrities that have another motive. Usually, celebrities try and seem woke just for the sake of capitalism and we have to be on the lookout since we are the “woke generation” 

Uh no?

We aren’t

We are just more attuned to fake people and reading them better. We know this because we have social media for recipes of celebrities being bigots before they know it. It’s too late and we’ve already figured it out. 

They either one, try to fake it and seem like they didn’t know better from the past and not learn from it.

Or apologize and say how stupid of a person they were back in the old days of the internet. Which to me is a lot better than having to sweep under the rug a tweet or a post that a celebrity made.

I’m annoyed at the bi/poly erasure going on in the fandom since the release of Dirty Computer.

y’all aren’t as progressive as y’all think y’all are.

like, srsly. how y’all gonna call janelle a “bicon” then erase it in the same breath?

tragic.

The Daily Tea #11

Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Yes, it really does get that blue.

I found this tea on Tiktok and couldn't believe the insane color - so I had to try it for myself. Luckily, it's readily and cheaply available on Amazon.

I'm going to make my own Tiktok of me making this tea and adding the lemon juice to change its color so just keep a lookout for my Tiktok link below.

The bag says to use 1-2 teaspoons of flowers, however, the flowers are so long and big that one flower is much bigger than the teaspoon.

So I just half-filled a herb strainer with the flowers. I didn't add anything else, and that was probably a mistake taste-wise. But I wanted to see its true color.

It truly does (quickly) give off a striking blue color with a violet tinge. It turns completely purple when lemon juice is added. But the taste by itself is nothing more than warm spinach water. Even the flowers smell like spinach.

I'll try these flowers again with other herbs soon but for now it's palatable. And plus, the tea has many health benefits such as cancer-fighting antioxidants and it promotes hair growth! Read about it here: Butterfly Pea Flower (Blue Tea): Benefits and Side Effects (healthline.com)
