The Bored Box
March 16, 2020
Growing up, there were naturally a slew of words that my parents taught my siblings and I not to say. One of them, however, is rarely banned in households, and that is the word “bored.” Sure, it wasn’t actually banned in our home, either, but we were supposed to stay creative and play, finding something to do, or else Mom would say she’d give us more math to do.

Tea. The worldwide phenomenon that many claim dates back to roughly 2730 B.C. in ancient China.

They even assist in the healing of ailments such as cardiovascular and degenerative diseases, several cancers, diabetes, and arthritis, all of which is thanks to their polyphenols, caffeine, fats, amino acids, and other such helpful ingredients. So with tea being so healthy and delicious, it makes sense that recipes may be necessary — however simple they are — to make the best, most impactful cup. And here we are!

Now there are several in my family that don’t care for cake that much, or would much rather prefer a different dessert in place of it. For example, my older brother has had pumpkin pie for his birthday since he was five or six, which is almost my whole life. At any rate, I’ve been exploring alternative options for my “cake” and recalled last year in which I made my own ice cream.
