US buddies, hope your Thanksgiving was blessed and bountiful. While I was feasting Thursday, I took a 24-hour fast from social media, and do you know what? Much as I like y’all, I didn’t miss it much.
The best part of Thanksgiving weekend, at least at my house, is not hurrying and having plenty of putter time. I did a little tea puttering as well while I was messing around in the kitchen.
Experiment #1 — One part no-name bulk pu-erh from local indie grocery + 1 bag Bigelow Salted Caramel. A tasty surprise. The pu-erh lent a little muscle to the Bigelow, which has a good flavor, but not a lot of body strength.
Experiment #2 — Straight up peppermint + a sprig of rosemary from my own plant. Tasted like air freshener. (But the rosemary tasted great on the turkey.)

sounds wonderful!
Experiment 1 sounds VERY intriguing. I really enjoy rosemary water. Just fill a glass carafe (glass gets it deliciously cold) with water, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, and leave it in the refrigerator for at least a few hours but I try for five or six. It is so refreshing and I especially like it when I am reading at night. If you only drink a little of it, you can top it up and have more the next day, but it doesn’t keep “resteeping” indefinitely. I get two GREAT carafes out of a few sprigs.
Interesting! My rosemary plant is getting huge…I think I can spare some springs for further R&D.
Let me know how you like it!
