This is the stuff that will hopefully get me through the Japanese summer. I have yet to discover something that is better to relieve the feeling of mugginess that seems to be more or less permanent lately. But as much as I don't like too warm weather, it's not yet hot enough for me to wish for what they've got at home right now. It's been rainy with temperatures close to ten celsius and northern Sweden has had some snow.
So I'll just pour another couple of liters of ice cold minty goodness down my throat and stop complaining.
To make this wonderful beverage I take a big bowl of water and heat it in the microwave for five minutes (I don't have a non-leaky pitcher that will fit in the microwave), put in a bag of mint tea and a bag of peppermint herbal infusion (both bought at Yamaya for cheap) and leave them there until it cools. Then I pour it into a pitcher (and some into my sink since my big bowl isn't made for pouring anything out of) and put it in the fridge. Serve with nice big chunks of ice. The microwaves can be substituted for a gas flame... at least if your water is in a fireproof container such as a pot. A frying pan will work, but I will consider you strange for making tea in one.
So now I've written instructions for cooking tea... is that an indication of boredom? Rethorical question, don't bother to answer.
As you can probably guess from the subject of this post, not terribly much of any real interest has been happening lately. Nick was going to post some amusing quotes from yesterday, but he apparently forgot them. Probably a good thing since I can sound a little mean sometimes if quoted out of context... or even in context I suppose ^_^
