Water and Tea

Have you been told to drink more water?  I love drinking water but sometimes I want a little flavor. I figured out a quick and simple solution.  Tea.  Herbal tea that is. Black and green teas are tasty, but also contain caffeine which would almost defeat the purpose of all that consumption. There are so many varieties of herbal teas these days.  You can get single flavors like chamomile or blends like raspberry passion.  You can get tea in bags or loose tea.  Loose tea is more economical and more environmentally friendly.  If you do choose loose then you will need a tea ball or a tea pot with a strainer.  I use both but prefer the loose.  The loose also tends to be fresher.  

In the morning I make a pot of tea and have a hot cup.  Then I put the teapot in the fridge and in the afternoon I have a lovely iced version.  Some of my favorites are blends that I have purchased in tea shops around the country.  In the Miami area there is shop called Teavana in the Falls.  I have not been there yet, but have heard that there is a great selection.  If you are in other areas of the country check out the local tea shops and spice up you daily water intake with some tea.
