Tea Talk

Did you know the average weight gain during the holidays is 10 pounds? With all the parties, friends, and family get-togethers and the extra goodies we don’t usually indulge in, it’s easy to accidentally pack on some pounds. And those nasty pounds just seem to suddenly sneak in and appear. I don’t know about you, but I’m not into crazy fad diets or suddenly restricting the foods I like to make those extra pounds go away.

The weather here in the south has finally cooled off, and it feels way more like fall, even early winter. So, I've been drinking hot teas more than iced teas, and I thought I'd share the teas I enjoyed last week. Honeybush tea has been my go-to choice. For those of you unfamiliar with honeybush tea, it comes from South Africa. It's a shrub that grows only in the coastal and mountainous areas of the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa. Its yellow flowers smell like honey, hence its name. This superb tea is naturally caffeine-free, very soothing,...
