Jenny's Custom Tea

Today's Playlist: Aladdin on ABC's Family

Knowledge of brewing tea (check!). Knowledge of drinking tea (check! check!) Knowledge of creating custom tea blend (*crickets*). I have no idea how to create tea blends. But admitting ignorance and plunging into the unknown...well, that truly is the first step to learning.

After looking through my modestly-sized spice and herb cabinet, I decided on the following familiar and nose-pleasing ingredients: Mint, Rosemary, Basil, and Bay Leaves.

Materials: Coffee filter, ribbon, and measuring tools.

Jenny's Custom Tea blend:

1/4 teaspoon Rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Bay Leaves
1/4 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon of Mint

Put ingredients inside coffee filter and gently mix by massaging filter with fingers. Then, tie off mix with ribbon. Boil Water in teapot. Pour Boiling water into glass and place custom tea bag into the water. Let stand for five minutes. Add sugar, sweetener, or ice if desired. Lastly (and most importantly) Drink Up!

Mmmm....yum.
