Growing up in a Jamaican home (in the UK I have to add) meant tea had always played a part in my upbringing; whether that be for its medicinal or relaxation benefits. Whenever I was ill i.e. stomach ache, headache, etc. my mother would advise me to drink Jamaican ‘bush’ tea i.e. peppermint, cerasse, and soursop. To name just a few; and I used to always think, this isn’t going to help me.
A couple of sips and hours later I would be feeling so much better. Before bed and getting up in the morning a hot drink was something I have always been accustomed to.I don’t get how anyone can start their day without a hot drink in their system!
