Teaology

My cup runneth over with tea or at least my pantry does. The various tea types range from Blueberry, to Green,  Peppermint, Echinacea Elder, to Blackcurrant Black Tea.  Lita, my sister, has even graced my pantry with a tea called Blue Eyes Fruit Tea from the Coffee Roasters of New Orleans. I'm happy to say that I even have regular Lipton tea in the house.

Different teas provide a variety of benefits, some even medicinal. Green tea is said to contain antioxidants and Vitamin C, while most black teas are recognized for lowering blood sugar levels. I've even heard that individuals should drink at least two cups of tea per day and add a little fresh ginger. It aids with digestion.

Tea makes a great summertime beverage and since its Summer and there is an abundance of fresh fruit at our disposal; lets kick up our teaology a knotch. I am suggesting that you add fresh fruit to your tea drink (cold).  I recently enjoyed a tea beverage with very small watermelon cubes floating on top, it was amazing! If your having a get-together or you just want to treat yourself, serve ice tea with peaches, blueberries or a variety of fresh berries on top. Your guests will love it.
