On Saturday, Lamar, Ashley (my youngest sister), and Yanna (my neice aka my Mini-Me) came to spend the day in NYC with me. We ended up going to the Central Park Zoo and Boathouse later on in the day. We had a little bit of time to burn before we left so I decided to make some tea. The girls helped me.
The ingredients were: licorice root, black cohosh, saw palmetto berries, chaste tree berries, spearmint, green tea leaves, and honey for taste.
I'm glad they were into it because I like people to know that these herbs have a lot of potent nutrients that can help keep good health. I try to drink at least 4 cups of herbal tea per day.
They wanted to taste every herb by itself lol. I think they were trying saw palmetto berries here. I refused to try it alone cuz the smell of them was like old cheese. Ashley jumped right in and tried it first; but she said it tastes how it smells.... grossss. I told you she was brave lol.
I made sure I taught them some of the specifics about what some of the herbs do for your body. For example, the licorice root alone supports respiratory function, promotes energy & hormonal balance, soothes acid indigestion, maintains gastrointestinal health and much more. Ashley looked intrigued lol.
We used my handy natural tea maker. I got it during my most recent trip to China. This is one of my most prized possessions lol. I use it just about every day.
Side note: Look at my mini me and her hair. Love it! lol

Yanna pouring in the honey. When it was cool enough to drink they both said they liked the taste :)
If anyone else is interested in ordering natural herbs online, I found this site, PennHerb.com . They have a huge variety and they deliver pretty fast. Also, if you click on the names, they'll give you a list of the herbs they have available, along with the health benefits, and common uses. Enjoy!
P.S. The posts from the Central Park Zoo and Boathouse are coming soon
