Necessity is the 'motherhood of invention'. H had a craving for tea and I'm trying to fight off the beginnings of a sinus infection. She is exploring with inventing her own recipes and keeping them in a file. So... H was eating an orange today and didn't want to throw out the peelings. I mentioned that it might taste okay in a tea, she thought of some complimentary ingredients to put with the peelings; it was delish AND medicinal! If you'd like to try it, see her recipe below...
She has a tip for anyone fighting a cold: add a dash of black or cayenne pepper to the tea.
