Here is a recipe my Mentor Rev Angel-San posted on her studygroup message board. It sounds good too. If anyone tries it and finds it good, please let me know.

I would like to try it but I've never seen instant tea anywhere here... Is there a substitute? Otherwise, what kind of tea is it? Normal black or granulated icetea? Thank you for the recipe enyway

No, it means something about cans and worms. I guess you never heard of the 3x3 triads of The Masterless Samurai of the Trees?
Never mind, I'll just sit back and enjoy .

I, for one, am a big fan of the 3x3 triads...never tried the bread though...or instant tea....

[Teileag]

No, I hadn't, Explorer but now I have ... Thank you!

Thanks for posting that tasty recipe Ki No Ronin,

I made some of this for my Alban Hefin celebration. I added some raisins & almonds to the mix. I like my sweet breads to have little goodies added (i.e. walnuts, raisins & chocolate chips in my banana bread). I'm going to check out more recipes that use honey instead of sugar. Sometimes awen hits when you're not looking.

Yours under suburban trees,

I forgot to add that this bread is wildly exotic & strangely familiar at the same time. Thanks again for the recipe!

Lavender Cookies
One half cup of margarine. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoon of lavender buds. 1 cup sugar. One half teaspoon of vanilla. 1 and a half cups of unbleached flour. 2 teaspoons of baking powder. A pinch of salt. Mix. Drop by spoonfulls on ungreased sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
At first these taste odd, but then you find yourself craving them. So much so, that I have purchased lavender plants and have begun to harvest my own. I look forward to trying the fairy bread. I also have a Bumbleberry Lavender Upside Down Cake Recipe is anyone is interested. Patty

[skydove]

Bring it on Patty it sounds intriguing- what's a bumbleberry?

[ShadowclawFC]

Uh, question or two.

Since this is posted under the healing boards...what health or healing use does it have?
Um, and I read over the thread twice...yet I'm still clueless to what Instant Tea is...

[Aigeann]

"misfit"

I think most of us feel that way. As time goes by, I embrace it rather than be embarrassed by it.

(Welcome to the Board, btw)

Blessings, Aigeann

has anyone tried the faery bread? I'm not much into baking; I think the name sold me on it. Not actually gloomy: literally raining in NW Germany the day this was posted.

[Gwernen]

Instant tea is one of my staple items, that and cheese. Seriously! laugh. It comes in a jar. The day it stops being available I may whither away. Yes I drink regular leaf tea, too. But that's not the point. Instant tea!

*snort* wildly exotic and strangely familiar indeed.

Fond memories... very fond...

You've never had Ricola instant herbal tea? Bow to me, earthling.
