Tea Totalling

I made up another big batch of iced tea today -- my standard formula of White Jasmine, Green, Black and Ginger, with freshly squeezed lemon and also a bit of fresh ginger (steeped with the tea).  A little honey was added with the sugar for a change. It turned out very well!  We save a lot of money and calories making it at home.  The convenience is great too.

Another thing I like to do after making the tea, is exfoliate!  Yes, you read it right.  I roll up my sleeves, take all the lemon peels and rub the lemon skins all over my arms, hands and fingers.  Next, comes a rub of baking soda.  Once that is done, I rinse it off with cold water and pat my skin dry.  Then I head over to the big aloe plant that is wintering inside.  Rubbing the fresh aloe all over feels great and it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean.

Once I'm done with all that, I put the peels and a little more baking soda into the garbage disposal then let it sit for a few minutes before grinding it all up.  That helps freshen the drain.

Make iced tea isn't only about beveraging!
