Tea is the second most popular drink next to water! Who knew!?
I love having iced lemon tea during the summer! With a Green tea packet in it, To give a caffeine/health boost! And a nice hot, sleepy time tea or yogi Detox tea before bed. Leaving me hydrated and warm. For a nice peaceful sleep. When I drink tea I feel connected with nature, Which is something I cherish when I'm forced to live in a city, Around concrete.
