Tea Time

Olivia and I have been enjoying some homemade tea made from our little apartment garden.  

Cucumber Mint Tea:

10 Sweet Mint leaves (more if you want a darker stronger brew)
2 cucumber slices
2 cups water 
Sugar or honey to taste 

Directions: 

place cucumber and mint leaves in pot.  Pour boiling water then bring to a boil.  Sweetened as desired.

Our second brew was...

Mint Lavender Tea

some lavender flowers
10 -15 sweet mint leaves 

Directions:

The same as with the cucumber mint brew.

In the hammock we sipped our tea and talked about all sorts of things.  We talked about our "tasty" lavender mint tea, her dollies new names and taking her dollies to the park.  "Sally, Shelby, Sandy, and Shilly...and Shilly is a girl." ;)

I really enjoyed our morning tea time that I just couldn't resist buying some Mexican Tarragon to add to our tea garden. :)
