I DRINK TEA

We have some good herbal teas around here. No decent "real tea", just the generic type tea bag stuff. My favorite is "capim santo" (holy grass) which is called "limoncillo" here. I think the English version is "lemon grass". Boil it up with a bit of "rapadura" (an unrefined brick type brown sugar called "panela" here) and it makes a great cold remedy, especially if you add a bit of real lemon or lime juice to it. I miss afavaca, a type of herbal tea we used to use in Brazil. It's available here in places, just not HERE.
