If it's good for your farm animals, then it's good for you. ~ ancient Chinese proverb


It's been a long time since the last newsletter. In March we moved to a new home and we got busy with repairs. Apparently there are a lot of small improvements to do in the house every day. My father gave me one of his older drill machines as a present :)

We now live at 20 minutes walk distance from the sea side. That's a plus, although we went to the sea only a couple of times due to unusual cold weather.  I am glad tough, because I have discovered a lot of Celandine around the house. It has blossomed now and it makes my day every time I go for a walk

What is the secret to a sweet and healthy calorie-free tea

I found it both on a tv-show (with cinnamon), and also by accident (chamomile and licorice).

Put liquorice, cinnamon and chamomile in the hot water. I use cinnamon in the form of a roll to not put to much by mistake. These ingredients are both for sweetening and for health. Cinnamon is for diabetes, liquorice soothes the stomach and chamomile is a disinfectant.

Add dried fruit like Blackthorn/Sloe (Primus Spinosa) or Dog rose (Rosa canina) for a sour flavor and peppermint or cumin for digestion.

If you want more subtle flavors add dried fruit like black currant, raspberry or woodland strawberry. Don't forget the healing herbs and, in the end, a slice of lemon.

There you have it - a flavorful, savory and healthy for our body without the need for sugar, honey or other sugar concentrates.
