3 Super-Healing Summer Iced Teas

Acai Berry Blast

The acai berry in this tea makes it high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect your body against the effects of aging (yes, wrinkling!) and disease. The fresh lemon juice gives your body a boost of more than 20 anti-cancer phytonutrients. I’ll be discussing anti-cancer phytonutrients in an upcoming post.

4 acai berry tea bags (I used Stash Acai Berry Herbal Tea for this recipe)
20 drops of liquid stevia (stevia is an herb that is naturally sweet. It is the only sweetener that doesn’t raise blood sugar levels)

4-1/2 to 5 cups water, boiled

Juice of 1 lemon

Ice

In a Pyrex container add the acai berry tea bags (with the paper tags removed). Allow to steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the stevia and boiled water. Fill two large glasses (or 4 small ones) with ice and lemon juice.

Serves 2 to 4

Iced Chai

The almond milk is an excellent source of calcium and magnesium. The tea and spices have antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar.

½ cup liquid chai concentrate (I used Tazo Organic Chai Concentrate for this recipe)

1 cup almond milk

Dash freshly-ground nutmeg

4 medium ice cubes

Dash of cinnamon

Mix all ingredients except the cinnamon in a shaker or glass. Pour into 1 large glass or 2 small glasses to serve and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Serves 1 to 2

*****************
Sugar-Free Green Tea Lemonade

There are many great healing properties of green tea, ranging from burning belly fat to warding off cancer. Read 9 Reasons to Drink Green Tea here. Fresh lemon juice contains over 20 anti-cancer phytonutrients (more in an upcoming post).

1/4 teaspoon of matcha (green tea powder)

Juice of 1 lemon

6 drops of liquid stevia (stevia is an herb that is naturally sweet. It is the only sweetener that doesn’t raise blood sugar levels)

2 cups water

Ice

Blend all ingredients except ice in a blender. Add the ice to 1 or 2 glasses. Pour green tea lemonade mixture over ice and serve.

Serves 1 to 2

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.

 

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.

 

Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.

As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.

We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.

Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"

A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?

After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...

Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
