Iced Hibiscus Green Tea

Healthy, sweet, simple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ingredients:

Dried Hibiscus (also called jamaica flowers)

Green Tea (bagged or loose)

Honey/Sugar

Water

Ice

1. Boil Water.

2. Place small amount of Hibiscus flowers & Green tea leaves in mug. Or you can use a lot of both in a large pitcher to make a lot.

3. Pour boiling water over Hibiscus & tea, let steep for at least 5 minutes.

4. Strain liquid to get out the leaves and flowers (discard).

5. Add sugar or honey to your liking. Hibiscus is naturally tart.

6. Let cool.

7.  Once at or near room temperature, pour over a tall glass of ice.

8. Enjoy in the sunlight.

Notes: 

Add lemon juice for a hibiscus green tea lemonade blend.

If you have a Keurig or other drink machine, this is super-easy to make with one. Just get Green Tea K-Cups, put hibiscus flowers in mug before you place it under the machine, then let the tea pour right over the flowers, then let steep and follow instructions from there. I do this all the time. Just as good.

I am sorry to say that I have neglected this blog in favor of my Tumblr. It's just so random and geeky and easy to play with.

But here's some news:
--This month (June, that is) I start working with the people of Broken Frontier as a co-editor. No pay, but I think it's gonna be fun. And I'm going to learn so much about comics!
--I got my Dangerous Angels back, so Weetzie-focused blogs will return, I promise! It is, after all, the point.

...I'm probably still going to spend a lot of time on Tumblr. I'm sorry. I can't help it. So pretty.

While exploring a few tumblrs full of short haircuts (ie; fuckyeahgirlswithshorthair.tumblr.com) I wanted to leave a comment, so I made a tumblr account.


Probably not the best idea.

Now I have an actual tumblr.

oh gosh.

Selling Butterflies

For anyone who liked the images of my butterfly decor (if anybody, that is) I'm selling sets of origami butterflies on my Etsy Shop!


I think they're adorable and have been making them like crazy!
$5 gets you a set of 10, to do with whatever you'd like. If you need ideas, just let me know and I might even be able to get you the equipment to do it!
