I’m not really a baker. I have a tendency to be lazy when I cook, modifying recipes to be as easy as possible, and I’m embarrassed to say it travels into my baking methods as well.

Whether we know the exact origin of tea or not, no one can deny that tea has been widely made, consumed, loved, and passed down through the generations for a very long time — and with good reason. The abundant benefits of tea are used by many to achieve healthier weight loss, sleep, pain, and energy levels. 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!
