Confession

I drink tea.



Gasp! It seems like such a raw food cliche, but I don't care!

Lately the sunshine has been so daunting in my back yard. So what do I do about it? Make oodles of sun tea!
I've taken to going home for lunches instead of sitting in my car --- I like this new routine much better. I get to visit with the furry-babies, enjoy my lunch while moving around, sprawl out on a blanket in our back yard and stretch in the sun light...and enjoy a mason jar full of sun tea. Today's flavor is Jasmine/Green tea...last weeks was Darjeeling/Mint. Yum.

This afternoon I've been recruited by a friend to do hair and make-up for a play that her teenager's charter school is putting on. I miss doing theater make-up...this is gonna be fun -- plus I'm one of those weird people that really enjoys the company of teenagers!

Tea is so good for you! So who cares? :) It kind of seems like tea could fit in a raw diet...? I mean, green tea really isn't supposed to be boiled. I don't know all the tenants of a strict raw diet though.

I miss picking wild mint from my neighbors' yards around Eureka. Perfect for summer teas.

So, what made you go raw and not just vegan? Were you already vegan when you went raw? I have some food/nutrition research heroes (who are vegan, but support raw food as well, as it's all about the plants), and I wonder if you have any as well.

Have you had African Honeybush tea? That's my favorite - naturally caffeine-free, plus it has a wonderful sweet taste all its own. I don't use sweetener in it at all.

You should try it!

I love sun tea! I "made" a big glass pitcher last week of pomegranate-acai green tea. With a touch of agave nectar, it was perfect.
