Well, why did you post then? Do you often go to parties and tell people that you don’t like what they’re talking about?

A friend told us about this tea when hubby and I were down with some bug a year ago January.

Do not know if it was Covid or not.
But this tea seemed to help.

We got it at Whole Foods, I imagine Trader Joe’s would carry it and it is on Amazon.

I like English Breakfast tea in the morning now. I used to prefer Earl Grey but now I like the taste of English Breakfast better. Peppermint tea is also a super favorite. It’s a great tea for first thing in the morning or any time of day really. I enjoy green tea later in the day sometimes. If I make iced tea, I generally use Luzianne tea bags plus sugar added before the ice. Water should be almost boiling. Never boil tea and expect it to taste right.

Here’s a great tip: drink tea made with thyme to calm the nerves. It’s a very mild tea. I like it with some honey or sugar added. I have never seen thyme tea bags for sale, but thyme tea is easy to make from fresh sprigs of thyme or even dried thyme.

“When it comes to cognitive longevity, drinking a daily cup of tea is one of the tastiest, cheapest, and healthiest habits.”

This contradicts other articles I read in the past stating that tea consumption promotes kidney stones...

“Especially for people who don’t like the taste of plain water, green tea can be extremely helpful in helping someone meet their hydration goals,”

Excuse me... Plain water cannot be disliked. People crave flavoring and sweeteneers.

E-coli alert....

“I get a 1.5 gallon container, put sixteen Luzianne iced tea bags on the bottom, put a whole orange and lemon over that after slicing them with multiple deep cuts, then put a large coffee mug over the fruit. THEN fill it with filtered cold water and let it set for 24 hours. After that, stir, add water and run through a coffee filter into another container. Add sugar and enjoy.”

It has been found that sun tea contains levels of E coli bacteria whereas tea that has been made with boiled water does not.

I quit making sun tea years ago because of that. And when I was a professional cook we were told not to make sun tea and serve it in our dining facility.... as if we really had time to make sun tea for 1000...

For those taking beta blockers for high blood pressure, check with your Doc before diving into a jug of green tea. Green tea can effect efficacy of some beta blockers.

I never said anything about plain water.

Did you mean to reply to someone else? 🤔

I love coffee. Not much of a tea drinker here either. Once in awhile in the middle of the day in winter when it’s really cold I’ll make a cup of green tea. Other than that....bleh. I do like me some sweet southern black tea in the summer though.
