I'm sick with a cold. Yes, I sure am. Thanks for the sympathy or lack there of because colds are just blinking for life.
But what has a cold to do with tea besides the fact that everyone and their mom will tell you to drink some hot tea. It's funny that every single person will give you a different answer when it comes to drinking tea to get over a cold or flu. However, whether you were raised in America, Britain, Africa, or anywhere in the world where vegetation exists in some sort of edible way.
Yet, every culture has a different remedy. Well this could be a good thing because in a place where multidimensional people exist with differing body types, we each need a unique way to ease a cold in our most awkward, pajama'd, and red nosed times of our lives.
I just had some sort of sinus tea that my significant other brewed up for me. I don't know if it was the tea or the warmth of the liquid but something happens with that first sip. It is as if the ambrosia of the gods has been sent through the ground and into the tea pot. I could not believe the ease, the smile it brought to my chapped lips which had previously been rather unfortunately and over-exaggeratingly puckered from moping about on the couch. I admit it. It's not manly but I did it. I hate being sick, it's like being kicked in the stomach for days straight, and hoping that you might be able to catch your breath again.
But I can finally enjoy my time while my immune system reboots and wages a war through the art of herbal tea and following the ways of our unwavering ancestors.
Drink up and enjoy a cup.
