Bancha Tea

oooh so alkalizing!
In the winter I drink it instead of water with a few pieces of ginger.
Bancha tea is a cure for his particular alkalinizing effect on the blood. It also contains iron, calcium and vitamin A and helps in the digestion of fats. Apparently there are two types of bancha tea and the taste is very similar: Kukicha and Hojicha with a minimum content of caffein.
In the morning I prepare a liter and 1 / 2 of bancha tea, I put it in a special bottle to keep it warm and I drink it throughout the day, whether at home or when I'm out.
PS: the background, the tiger and the donkey that I drew on the wall to please my little devils, I copied Aurelia Fronty ... she designed the game cubes for DJECO.

Homemade Herbal Teas

I found a nice recipe for homemade fruit and herbal teas, that is, natural with no artificial flavourings but with the real taste and goodness of real herbs and fruits. I actually copied the recipe from a nice italian brand of organic teas in bottles called Achillea (see here). The secret is to mix nice herbs like Rosa Canina, it's the red fruit of the wild rose or hybiscus flowers, or any herb you like with other herbs like Raspberry flowers or other healing herbs, make an infusion and use concentrated apple juice as a sweetener. Raspberry leaves are very good for children, they are very rich in minerals and vitamins and also they help to reduce fever. Rosa Canina is a bomb of vitamin C. In Italy we have Erboristeria, which is a shop that sells loose herbs and a trained person that will tell you what herbs are best for you. That's where I go. Adding the apple juice is a good way to make it taste nice, because some teas are sometimes too herby! :)
These teas are excellent cold in the summer.
Ps: A lot of herbs can be picked in the wild and dried at home, like mint, thyme, lemongrass, vervain... It's free and so exciting!
