Hello Season Hunters. We're back with the Season Hunt Challenge hosted by the talented 
This week we are chasing:
HOT DRINKS
Well, here in our country, snow or no snow, hot drinks are always aplenty. My wife and daughters are tea drinkers and drink multiple cups a day. And they drink so many different types of tea, basically for their medicinal purpose than for the taste. But I suspect they've gotten quite used to it by now that surely taste does play in their tea drinking. Here's some photos of their tea collection.
And sometimes they even make their own tea from leaves of trees and plants that have been found to have multiple health benefits like this one below.
Let's drink to our health!
These are guyabano leaves that I picked from a neighbor's tree, washed and boiled in a pot.
Guyabano (Anona muricata), or soursop, custard apple and Brazilian Paw Paw, is a small tropical fruit tree bearing a sweet heart-shaped fruit with a soft-spined green outer skin and soft pulpy white flesh.
The Guyabano leaves have vitamins A, B, C, E, riboflavin, thiamine (Vitamin B1), niacin (Vitamin B3), polyphenols, and pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). It contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer properties. It also has antioxidants, which fights free radicals that can cause various types of diseases. And if that isn't enough, the leaves also contains minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and other nutrients, which help us to maintain our body’s health.
But I'm more of a coffee drinker. I occasionally drink tea but not as much as coffee. Here's my morning cup with my favorite season's mug.
And that's all for this hunt. Hope you enjoyed it. For those who have not seen a guyabano fruit and for those who want to try this out, I am enclosing a picture of it below. This fruit also gives a tarty sweet puree which makes an excellent juice as well.
Good luck to everyone in the lucky draw! Keep safe and looking forward to the next hunt!
