a bit of tea, a bit of farming

∴

lately, i have been thinking how i could make chamomile tea a bit more flavorsome. after a bit of research on the internet, i discovered a black tea with saffron recipe, which i altered and adapted to my herbal tea needs.

i put one full teaspoon of chamomile in my ikea glass teapot and i added boiled water. i let it sit for a bit and then i strained it. i poured some of the tea in my mug and i added 2 threads of saffron and a teaspoon of honey. delicious!

you can find saffron in your local organic food shop but i guess in supermarkets, too.

in the last photo is my favourite pair of suede leather shoes with gray shoe laces from occhi. i match it with my granit canvas bag.

yesterday, i went through the books on my bookshelf and i re-discovered this very interesting book written by jules pretty, professor of environment and society at the university of essex,  who kindly sent it to me some years ago.

there is a lot of interesting content and mentions to successful sustainable farming cases. i promise to share some in my posts to come.
