We love to make it for guests and family. I am so glad that I met someone else who knows about this great concoction of flavors. We add fruit and honey to the drink. I am growing mint leaves and lavender now and want to get other herbs to flavor the tea along with the bags. Thanks for the backstory on Haiti temperatures. I did not know that the heat remains high each year. Enjoy your time off to renew your zest for teaching.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-13977094227271729872018-06-07T20:00:07.869-07:002018-06-07T20:00:07.869-07:00What a lovely and rich post and poem.

Your sun tea is a metaphor of an enough life, I think. <br /><br />My favourite tea is Berry Zinger, which I drink hot with lemon juice and sweetener.

Maybe I'll just brew a favorite cup of tea and then chill it (which I've never done). I'm a caffeine free, herbal tea gal, but when warmer weather arrives, I put away my tea. So maybe this will be my summer for trying iced tea. Love the idea of summer being a fallow time.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-34692328718920811592018-06-07T08:01:34.946-07:002018-06-07T08:01:34.946-07:00I am enjoying a cup of peach blossom tea (hot, not...I am enjoying a cup of peach blossom tea (hot, not cold) as I read your tea-filled post.

I will try some of these in your post. Also, how great is tea as a metaphor? It's one of the few things that celebrates darkness. I am going to let that steep and see what poems come of it. Thank you, Ruth! xoIrene Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905936104127707762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-89997878424861029102018-06-07T06:53:12.950-07:002018-06-07T06:53:12.950-07:00So tickled to find Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon ...So tickled to find Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset! It's my favorite! Never tried to make sun tea, and never had this one cold. Maybe it's time to try something new!<br />Though my post did not quote James 1:17 - it fits...just as you may not have said "enough", "sabbath" and "God", all is understood. <br />Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-17149787930834528872018-06-07T06:19:48.093-07:002018-06-07T06:19:48.093-07:00I really enjoyed the post!
