Exactly one year ago today Son Tony and DIL Ie got married. Later in the day their reception was at a beautiful lavender farm. The party was held in a large grassy area, but the bride and groom also got some great photos among the lavender plants in the field.
In my down time in between photos and reception I browsed through the facility's gift shop and purchased a bag of green tea flavored with lavender and jasmine. Back at home I brewed (and enjoyed) some of it, but my main tea-drinking time is after dinner, and I tend to choose decaffeinated.
I stored the lavender leaves in a Tupperware container so it would stay fresh. When we moved that Tupperware container accidentally got shoved to the back of the pantry. I found it the other day and decided to make an effort to use it. Today, in honor of the not-so-newlyweds I made some lavender-jasmine iced tea.
Lavender and jasmine? Delicious! Beautiful setting for a wedding.
ReplyDeleteI love that you made it today to celebrate. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteTim got me Newman's Own Organic Cinnamon Tea and oh my gosh, I call it my dessert tea and I have it after supper. No caffeine either. I really love it.
My favorite herbal teas right now are cinnamon and Red Zinger.
DeleteGroovy!
DeleteLovely way to celebrate the anniversary how quickly a year goes by
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how the time if flying.
DeleteHappy Anniversary to Son Tony and DIL.

Izdiher, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! I'm off to check out your blog now :-)
DeleteDoes that tea make you drowsy?
ReplyDeleteNo, I think the caffeine in the green tea counteracts anything the herbs would provide.
