Okay, I'm getting really confused here. Milk? I get it: fat, lipids, etc. So why not half and half, whipping cream or heavy cream? It seems, to me anyway, that with the higher fat content this would work better than milk. Anyone know?
Now, about the amounts. Up river on this thread, someone said a quad of hash per quart, but just before that, said a few grams. What about just one cup of tea?
I'm ready to do this NOW, as in, before I head off to bed shortly. I've got some Yogi tea that's got a bunch of good, relaxing herbs in it like valerian, cardamom, chamomile, skullcap, passionflower etc. I also picked up some stevia (at the advice of someone at the local crunchy granola store, I took a couple of samples of this new brand, though I've yet to be impressed by stevia). I also got some fresh vanilla beans and am thinking of brewing this up with a bit of all of this and some honey.
But I'm really confused by the amounts, time to steep, brew, etc. I have cheesecloth and coffee filters, but I do like the idea of just sticking the fun stuff in with the tea bag and then stapling it back up. Plus? I like the inspirational quote on this tea bag: "The beauty of life is to experience yourself." Well, I'd like to do that before I go to bed, experience myself in the bathtub strewn with lavender leaves, and a really good cup of tea.
I guess no one's up and paying attention to this thread right now, so I guess I'll just experiment and come back and let you all know what happened.
