Well hello again. This year has been off to a good-but-busy start, I got hired to shoot a cookbook last month and that’s what I spent most of January doing. It’s been a really fun project, but now that it’s winding down I’m able to catch my breath a little and share this post with you (finally!) I do plan on sharing more about the homestead (it’s really coming along), but in the meantime I have this little DIY to share, just in time for late winter. This time of year can be tough, having endured months of dark days, cold weather, and what feels like endless rain. But there’s a ray of comfort to the cold, and that’s a hot pot of tea. I drink multiple mugs every day this time of year, it’s such a great way to stay warm and keep the cozy vibes going strong. So I wanted to share a little bit about making your own tea blends, using a mix of both herbal and caffeinated tea varieties, all sourced from the lovely folks at Mountain Rose Herbs (a local Oregon business that supports organic herbs).
I love blending my own tea because it lets me refine the flavors to my specific tastes, and brew and taste as I go. I really love making a signature blend that I can share with friends as a gift or visitors when they come to the house, and of course enjoy in my daily winter routine, too!
