Got allergies?


When the Boss was having trouble with his asthma a while back (still is, but it's not as bad now) Baba told me to get some flowers from Aunt. These flowers are used to make tea. His friend from work had been here recently and brought back a couple of big bags of these flowers. There are two ways you can buy them...with bugs or without.

To make this tea, fill a tea ball full of these flowers and put in teapot while it boils. To drink, add honey and sugar. Typically you use the hard, white cubes of sugar because they're good for allergies. (?) Not sure how since it just dissolves like any other sugar. But they're good for sucking on when your throat is sour so we're keeping them. But for tea I prefer brown sugar cubes.

As you can see from the pic, we prefer our flowers without bugs.
