Steep This: For all the Sickies Out There
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/11/for-all-sickies-out-there.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. For all the Sickies Out There. I fully believe that tea (with additions) can help you when you're sick. Tea isn't a medicine, and I'm not a doctor, naturopath or a practitioner of Ayurveda. But these are some of my recommendations:. Ering from H1N1, stomach flu, dysentery, Montezuma's Revenge, Delhi Belly, or basic indigestion: Add ginger to your tea. Lots of it. As much as you can stomach. I found this wonderful recipe. At the Chai Pilgrimage website. For general good health (...

Steep This: Nectar
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/11/nectar.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. This past weekend I was really happy to visit a tea house in Ottawa with my special friends, Rebecca and April. I was excited to be there because I hadn't been to a tea house in a long time, and it was nice to share the experience. Do people ever visit tea houses alone? It seems to me that this is something you would do with friends most of the time. Nectar Fine Teas (no website yet) is located on Wellington Street across from Thyme and Again Catering.

Steep This: Merry Christmas, Tea Lovers!
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas-tea-lovers-and-to-all.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Merry Christmas, Tea Lovers! Ho, ho, ho! I just came back from my local tea shop to purchase a butt-load of teas to give away to family and friends. The gift of tea! How perfect is that? I'm even more excited to give it away than I am to get it for myself (although I did have to get some for me too, because, well, because.). I plan on sipping some while wrapping presents tonight. Actually maybe I should have some right now, because my sweet daughter is having a meltdown ...

Steep This: The Ultimate Tea Diet (Now We're Cooking with Tea)
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/11/ultimate-tea-diet-now.html
Sunday, November 29, 2009. The Ultimate Tea Diet (Now We're Cooking with Tea). What better way than to get my beloved beverage on board? I have no idea if tea can help someone lose weight, although there are many who believe that it can. I'm not talking about swallowing "green tea extract" pills (I think that might be dangerous, actually). Besides, that just takes out all the enjoyment of drinking it, n'est-ce-pas? I've also ordered a really cheap book from Chapters. It's called The Ultimate Tea Diet.

Steep This: Some Like It Hot
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-like-it-hot.html
Thursday, November 26, 2009. Some Like It Hot. My apologies for the delay in writing. My computer has succumbed to a virus or viruses, and therefore I am now writing this blog while in "Safe Mode"! Speaking of iced - how's this for a segway? I'd like to talk a bit about temperature. Not the temperature at which you infuse your tea, but rather the temperature at which you drink it. Is this a cultural thing? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is your favorite type of tea? Our Awesome Nepal White Tea.

Steep This: January 2010
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Spotlight on Sri Lanka, Part I. Recently my dad and step-mom were able to have a holiday in.Sri Lanka! How neat is that? There are three main broad types of tea grown in Sri Lanka: High, Medium, and Low Grown depending on their elevation; reputedly the higher the elevation, the higher the quality of tea. The Sri Lanka Tea Board sets high standards of quality on all their products, and you know that you are getting a good tea if it has the Lion Logo on it:. Into the grading area.

Steep This: The Ultimate Tea Diet - The Book
http://steepthis.blogspot.com/2009/12/ultimate-tea-diet-book.html
Friday, December 4, 2009. The Ultimate Tea Diet - The Book. The book arrived a couple of days ago (thanks, Chapters! And I've read it. It didn't take me long, because I skipped over a lot of it. It's not the worst book I've read. For $5.99, I'm happy. Basically, the book can be summed up like this:. 1 Drink tea that you love, and lots of it, all day. 2 Believe in yourself. 3 Engage in a healthy lifestyle and diet. 4 Drink more tea. And if you can't drink any more, cook with it. Recipes included. Actually...
