YES to Tea, NO to Coffee

In an effort to succeed in New Year Resolution #3 - "Drink More Water, Less Coffee", I brewed green tea instead of coffee this morning. Tea is amazing because you  can add all sorts of interesting ingredients. Just visit your local health food store and they should have a plant for every symptom - eucalyptus, chamomile, dandelion, fenugreek...This is a simple mixture of loose leaf green tea, a couple cinnamon sticks and palo azul (the thing that looks like tree bark in the picture). I bought the palo at a local Mexican store. Its supposed to help clean the kidney and I think it works because I have been visiting the restroom much more often lately. Oh, I add local honey instead of sugar - it tastes better and it is healthier.
