I explained in one of the earlier posts how I'm super sensitive to caffeine which is why I won't drink tea or coffee, and it causes me anxiety etcetera. But without caffeine I'm told it's difficult if not impossible to be a completely functioning human being in the modern world, so I've turned to semi-steeping the tea for short period of time to get weaker tea and less caffeine into my veins. But then the tea tastes just terrible, a pathetic lightly muddied water that smells vaguely of something you smelled while shiting in the fields in a village many years ago. Not something you'd want to drink on a daily basis.
My solution has been to add honey, black salt (or pink salt, as the case may be because that's all I got), and lime. But because lime is called lemon in Nepal, I'll call it lemon tea. Since I don't have lime with me, actually I do but often too lazy to hack a nice round piece of it, I've been using the dehydrated slices from last year that I brought with me from Boston, and honestly, it's been pretty great. Yes, I do get a little bit of a headache and heartache and slight anxiety, but shit gets done.
This is the same recipe (similarish anyway) we used to go to shoppes outside our school for, and man it was so refreshing then. Just as refreshing now. Sometimes I miss the weather and the vibe, but that's not very often.
