Interesting how the body knows. I'm usually a decaf coffee hound but have been on tea with honey and lemon all week as I have sinus crap going on.

Your body knows what it needs.

I strongly recommend not drinking decaf due to the chemicals used in the process to decaffeinate a majority of decaf coffee. Some is decaffeinated by steam, which is okay, but it's hard to tell what you're getting...okay I'll get off my soap box for that now.

Tea is the second most popular drink in the world. Second only to water. The reason Americans do not drink tea like the rest of the planet goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Tea fell out of favor due to its high cost from taxes so our drink of choice changed to coffee. The health benefits from tea, not even including herbal teas, are amazing. I'll let you do your own research on that. Did you know all tea (black, oolong, green, white) are from the same plant? It is how the leaves are cured and the region the plants are grown in, that make the minor differences. So Assam, Ceylon, Earl Grey, etc, all come from the same plant yet they taste vastly different. Herbal teas are a whole different animal and many have their own health benefits.

I've already discussed honey, so no need to go further with that.

Lemons have their own benefits. They are antibacterial and antiviral when consumed, but they also have very important vitamins and minerals. They are effective cleaners; use a cup of lemon juice rather than bleach on your whites and find out. Lemon juice is also great for keeping food from browning when you cut it up, so next time you cut up apples or avocados, for example, put a couple tablespoons of lemon juice in the bowl with the freshly cut pieces and shake to coat. They will not brown...very helpful when preparing dishes in advance.

Hope you learned something new.

cheers

Its good advise Sol, no reason I can't switch to tea, drank it most of my life, I think I'll switch back. I do drink lots of homemade green tea. I will try the lemon juice in the laundry too, bleach doesn't work that well.

I do laundry by hand and this method works best for my whites.

Pre-soak 30+ minutes, cold water with a cup of laundry soda and a cup of lemon juice. Depending on your wash machine you may have to put it on cold, allow to fill, shut machine off to soak.

Drain, refill with hot water, as hot as you can get and laundry soap. Since I wash by hand I soak for 30+ minutes and then agitate (normal wash cycle should work).

For soap I use fels-naptha, combined with equal parts of borax and washing soda. I make this in advance by grating an entire bar of fels-naptha and combining with 1 cup each borax and soda. I use 1 spoonful, approximately for each load.

I then rinse twice and whites are very bright. From time to time I will also add bluing agent (see link below) to the rinse water for even brighter whites.

If you have really dingy whites you can use Rit Color Remover or hydrogen peroxide in your pre-soak.

Now that I have proof read my post...I ponder...why am I discussing laundry on an EQ thread?

I guess strange things happen when you're drinking on a Friday night....

Well you are a library of knowledge. I bet everyone on this thread will benefit from this laundry side-bar. What's sexier than a bright white shirt!
