Fasting Fam, it was a manic Monday at work, perfect for fasting. I had my usual Harmony House low cal soup, chicken salad, and for dinner, my usual egg scramble, which will keep me full til morning. Because of the two day team outing last week and drinking too much yesterday at the Mexican place with my friend, I feel I have some damage to undo (it was fun though lol).

I’m daydreaming about that first bite of cereal tomorrow morning though, with the cold milk splashing against and going down my throat…just… sublime! Right now I’m sipping on chamomile herbal tea and am going to watch some more of The Burbs on Peacock.

Most evenings I enjoy a tumbler of herbal tea and tonight is my go-to, chamomile. There’s something about tea… the ritual of boiling the water, the sound of ripping open the sachet, the swirling steam that comes off the surface, the warmth that spreads from the inside out.. I’m such an anxious gal and tea helps me wind down, and getting to enjoy comforting taste on a day of little eating Nice that it happens to be zero or negligible calories, too. I like making iced herbal teas on my fast days, the fruity hibiscus based berry ones that are so flavorful.

I have a few loose leaf teas but am mostly too lazy to fuss with them and enjoy the common supermarket teas, mostly Celestial Seasonings and Bigelow. What are your guyses favorite teas? Any brands you prefer? Answer in the comments!
