I've recently taken to drinking chamomile as I was told it helps people sleep (and is claimed to have the additional benefit of reducing the frequency of migraines).
I wasn't prepared for how potent it is, though. It proper knocks me out. Good shit.
The taste takes a bit of getting used to, starts off as a mixture of grass and flowers. Now I'm accustomed to it I just taste the flowers and rather like it.
Thanks for the advice. I've had chamomile in the past, but found it tasted odd - like Xen said, a bit like grass or even too 'natural', like raw liquorice is. I went for the one with with vanilla in it and found that nice n'palatable.
People over there make tea in a microwave? (fail)
Here's some tips for your indigenous friends:
Tea is made in a pot. 3 bags, please.
Milk in first, then the tea.
Dunking is allowed, but not in restaurants.
You don't boil pizza.
>People over there make tea in a microwave?
They don't have kettles :|
I have a "tea for one" set that I'd like to bring to work but the faff of having to get milk for each cup has stopped me.
:-O
I see a gap in the American market.
In that case you also need a "fridge for one".
Ha, of course they exist.
The lack of kettles overseas was mindblowing to me when I first heard of it. I was incredulous! And so on.
As for coffee, instant coffee is of course an entirely different drink. One I do not like the taste of one bit. Bleurgh. A well-made coffee from freshly roasted/ground beans, now that's a good drink.
At work we have Nespresso and we have Yorkshire Tea. Things could on the whole be very much worse.
Worse than that Andrew, they have coffee machines that will also make tea...lukewarm tea that tastes of coffee. The heathens.
