We all have those nights when you can’t
sleep, for me it happen more than I would like. And when that happens I listen
to some music and drink some tea or something warm so it feels like someone is
giving me a hug. One of my favorites is
the Nightea Night tea, a combination of: orange peel, licorice root, chamomile,
peppermint, and lavender, stevia leaf and some honey if I have some. This tea
helps me to relax and sleep and it even has a great taste.
Now the song. It’s a pop one but is chill
and mellow, a just a few drums kicking :D. I’m talking about “1000 Nights” by
Frenship, a duo from LA. It has some cute lyrics like: “I've been known to run/
Just to feel the rush” and “For 1000 nights/ I've been a restless soul/ Just
wasting time”. There are a lot more but this are my favorites.
Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already
drinking mine.
I found this song a few days ago and I just
can’t stop listening to it. It’s edgy and it has a catchy chorus, some really
good guitar riffs and drum kicks. It’s defiantly one of my favorites right now.
I’m talking about “Sweet Disaster” by Dreamers, a punk, indie, electronic band
from Brooklyn. The song is about how it feels to just get drunk and forget
about everything, easy right? “In a river of champagne”, that sound expensive
and I kinda wanna try it someday.
Now for the tea to be in the same theme,
let’s have something with a little alcohol. I’m thinking of an Earl Grey Tea
Cocktail. This beverage is an energy buster. It has a very mild flavor of tea
with a dash of lemon, a touch of lavender and then lightly sweetened with honey
simple syrup. All you need is: Earl Grey
tea, gin, honey, lemon juice and lavender. Combine them when the tea is cold
and give it a try ;)

Here comes that time again, when you have
to help me wish happy birthday to a friend. And like always, they get to choose
the song and the tea and I’m trying to make their combination work and, at the
same time, to appreciate a long friendship. So let’s start!
“Anywhere” by Passenger, that’s her choice
and a great one if I may say. This track is calming and soothing and it’s about
finding the beauty in anything and admiring places, things and people with that
special someone. The artist’s distinctive voice warms you up and wraps you in a
lovely embrace. “Oh I'll go anywhere with you” that’s going to get stuck in
your head, no wonder she loves this song so much.
Her favorite tea in chamomile and I thought
we shouldn’t let it be just this simple thing. Let’s add some lemon or lemon
juice, honey or sugar and ice and turn it into a perfect beverage for this warm
weather. Alongside with this perfect song, it makes you think of summer. This
tea will help you relax and enjoy your life to the fullest.
Kisses and Go drink your tea (and wish my
friend “happy birthday!”), I’m already drinking mine.
Happy birthday my dear friend, have a great
day and an even better tomorrow!
This time we’ll do an odd one, something in
the line of k-pop :P I’m talking about EXO’s new song called “Monster”. This
track got me hooked from the first listen. It’s about a love that is more like
an obsession and it’s hard to give it up. The truth is that this song’s got
some weird lyrics, but the fact that I don’t understand most of them makes them
ok J) “You can call me monster” still has a ring to it.
Since we are listening to k-pop, how about
a tea that has the same origin as this music genre? I’m suggesting Yujacha, a
Korean honey lemon tea. In Korea, it’s traditionally made with the Yuja (유자) fruit (a relative of the lemon), but
we’ll make it with lemon for obvious reasons. It has a lot of benefits for your
immune system, energy levels, PH balance, digestion and many others.
And here is how you can make the Yujacha
base:
Slice several lemons and remove the seeds.
Place them in a clean pitcher or in another container, filling it about halfway
up. Make sure the lemon slices are completely submerged in the honey so that
they don’t spoil. Fill the rest of the container with raw, organic, unfiltered
honey. Leave the container in a cool, dark place for about a week. During warm
weather you can put the container in the fridge. It’s ready when it’s a thick
syrup.
Now making the tea:
Take about 2 tablespoons of the Yujacha tea
base and put it into a mug. Fill with boiling water and stir. That is it.
Enjoy!

This is a song that I've loved for
the past four years. It's pretty sad, full of melancholic sounds, but it makes
me feel good although it’s the kind of song that you would listen to when you
feel down.
The song is called "Forever
Lost" and it's by God is an Astronaut. Weird name for a band, I know, but
I think this is actually one of my favorite names especially when it comes to
this music genre. It's called post-rock, the genre that I love the most. This
is what I listen to when I'm by myself. The band comes from Ireland and is
currently one of the world's biggest instrumental groups. And like all the
bands nowadays, they describe their music as "a photograph or a snapshot
of who we are in that moment of time". That's pretty great since I love
their music.
Like I said before I've known it
for the past four years or more. It's a beautiful, relaxing and moving, and
absolutely incredible song. It starts a little slow and kind of depressing, but
slowly begins building up more and more and by the first minute you are hooked.
It's a rollercoaster of emotions. The last 2 minutes build up to the point
where you can't let go and you shouldn't. I absolutely adore this song and I
wanted to share this experience with you.
Since this could be a song that you
listen to when you're down, I think it will pair up nicely with a citrus
tea, like orange or lemon, or even better, try honey lemon tea.
Because the scent of citrus has
been proven to boost your mood, and tanks to the high level of antioxidants
found in tea, this makes a far better choice for the blues than a bottle of
Jack Daniel's or a bucket of ice cream, even though you sometimes need that
too.
Citrus has a lot of benefits, and
in combination with tea all those benefits are doubled. That makes them a must-have,
a must-try of the day.
Here is how you should make it, and
the ingredients you need:
1 cup of water
2 teaspoons of honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Heat the water, but don't bring it
to a boil, then add the honey and the lemon juice and mix until the honey
dissolves. That is it. If you want it to be sweeter add sugar.

already drinking mine.
Hey guys!
