Blooming Teas 4

It's Sunday morning and the house is a disaster because I'm sewing. I'm making throw blankets because I have the material. I also discovered that I overheat less at night when I use a throw instead of a full size quilted blanket. Well, that was the case until it got cold again. I still haven't gotten out the full size quilted blankets because the reality is I'm cold for the first half of the night, and hot for the second. I need to remember to fill my hot water bottle before bed to help out with that. Anyway, I have a week off of work, and a lot of projects to work on. That's a good thing considering the price of gas (along with the price of everything else these days). Yesterday at the grocery store I saw some of those little capsules that you put in hot water, and sponge animals pop out. They still make them! Unfortunately they were $3.29. If they were a dollar I would have totally gotten some. $3.29 will buy you a majority share in a gallon of gas these days. It won't buy the whole gallon mind you, but you will get most of a gallon.
With this in mind, I decided to bloom another tea this morning. I went for the acai berry tea. It had a really fruity smell when I opened the package. I chose this one because it was the shortest of the blooms, and I wanted to see if it would fit in my big wine glass.
Let the blooming begin!
It liked to float up a bit, so I had to poke it down with a chopstick a few times. I also had to fill the glass to the absolute top to accommodate the little flower at the top, but I did it! Blooming tea in a wine glass.
Now to drink some good tea. I am on vacation after all!

    Glad you're enjoying your vacation! I'm technically at the end of my spring break now, but I had papers due in my class right before break started and tutoring is heavier than normal this week, so I was busier over spring break than I am during a usual week...

    I have the exact same problem sleeping, too. I'm freezing when I get into bed and roasting when I wake up in the middle of the night. Just keep trying various combinations of blankets (and keep a heating pad by my feet since it automatically turns off after a few hours).

      You need time off after spring break. Isn't that the way it goes. My week off is coming to an end. I've gotten a lot done. It's also nice to loaf around the house watching TV, reading, and making stuff. Hopefully you can get a few hours to yourself this weekend.

Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea Today we go to Equatorial Guinea , which consists of "Rio Muni" - Continental Equatorial Guinea, and 5 small islands known collectively as Insular Equatorial Guinea. When researching this country, I found "osang" tea. I found the name only, no instructions on how to make it. Mystery tea Upon doing some research, osang is a generic name for African milk tea. I couldn't pin down any specific flavors used for this region, just a general description of how people all over Africa make this tea. The base is black tea with milk. The suggested add ins are shown below. Tea Masala (thank you Indian food store), ginger, cardamom, or lemongrass. No, don't use them all together. Today I'm in the mood for cardamom, so that's what I used. The one blog I found about making this suggested a 1:1 ratio of milk and tea. I used 3/4 cup (about 200 ml) of each, with 3 cardamom pods. As usual, you can add sugar to taste. I decided to add the c...

Have a cup of Christmas

Image
I'm skipping ahead just a little bit because of a Central American holiday tradition. The hibiscus flowers are in bloom, and it's tea season. In this part of the world, hibiscus tea is known as "sorrel" instead of " bissap ". While my research on the tea of North America is not complete, I found that several countries make sorrel for Christmas. Trinidad and Tobago , the southern most Caribbean islands. They gained their independence from the UK in 1962. They are a continuation of the Andes mountains from Venezuela. They have a tropical climate, and temperatures vary widely between day and night. They used to grow a lot of sugarcane, but the last of the sugarcane estates was closed. Cocoa and coffee are also export crops. Most of the population is rural, and is made up of people from Africa, East Indian, and mixed race.  Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , are part of the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. These islands gained their independen...

Ataya/Waraga/Tuareg Tea

Image
"Berber Whiskey" What do you make on a Saturday afternoon when you're tired? I mean really tired. Like you just woke up from a 3 hour nap, and all you want to do is go back to sleep. I will admit I was a bit leery of this one when I found out how it was made, but this is wildly popular so I had to try it. This version of tea has many names, and some sources say that this is used like alcohol in cultures that forbid drinking and using drugs.  Ataya (or attaya - I've seen it spelled both ways), also known as Tuareg tea (so named for the Tuareg tribe), is a very social tea ceremony in West Africa. Most reviews say to expect to take at least 3 hours and have several rounds of tea. Over time, each round of tea is supposed to get milder and sweeter. Sometimes instructions say that mint is added. It is popular in many countries: The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau , Senegal (The Gambia is actually inside Senegal with a small border on the Atlantic), Sierra Leone , Mali , Mau...
