On my way to forming new habits...

Well, it's day 2 of my cutting-down-on-the-black-tea. I have easily managed my 3 cups a day without much of a thought. I've been having my first cup with breakfast, the 2nd cup after lunch somewhere between 1-2pm and the last cup after the kids are in bed around 8-8.30pm.

I have noticed an increased thirst as I get to around 5pm though - obviously the reduced tea drinking and no increase in other fluids has left me a bit dehydrated.

I am going to start some blog posts on herbal teas that I am able to make from my own garden. Otherwise, aside from cutting back on caffeine, I'm not really fulfilling the whole "quit for peak oil" if I'm just buying a $6 post of herbal tea from the supermarket instead!

I tried making peppermint tea from my own peppermint earlier this year. okayish. I now have some peppermint leaves drying in the hot water cylinder so I can make a stronger brew. Hard to get it strong enough with fresh leaves without ending up all leaves and scarcely any water in the pot.
