There are two types of people in this world: one who drinks coffee, and one who drinks tea. And maybe there’s another type who only drinks chocolate. I’m the latter. I prefer a steaming cup of melted chocolate over latte or chai anytime. But this morning, I ran out of cocoa for breakfast. After rummaging through everything in the kitchen, I found some teabags. They were organic bamboo tea. Better than nothing, I thought. I brewed my tea, poured into my favorite mug and mixed in a dollop of honey and a few stevia leaves. The stevia’s from my garden. Its leaves are nature’s own sugarcubes. You can even eat them on their own. This drink, in the end, tasted mildly sweet and comforting (making me thisclose to leaving good old chocolate for tea leaves).
Today I woke up and found these flowers blooming from the stems of my tarragon. I'm grateful for this little discovery. Grow more, love.
I spent one quiet afternoon shopping for herbs with my grandma. We discovered this little nursery off the highway that grows more herbs than flowers. Oregano, thyme, sweet basil, rosemary— you name them. I was delighted to see these greens blooming in those tiny pots. They were the fresh version of those dried McCormick ones that I use in the kitchen. Having my grandma around was helpful. The lady has green fingers and grows a fine garden at her home. Together, we picked the best chilli, rosemary, parsley, mint, tarragon and marigolds to live and grow in my balcony herb garden.
