Herbal Tea tastes like ass!
 
It's 9.24pm here in Western Australia and today was hours and hours of torture and misery. At one point I felt like I was shuddering from the inside out... But thankfully that only lasted a few hours. Headaches still here as is tingling, itching and anxiety. Tomorrow will be Day 4...and normally the Day I cave in and fall off the wagon.
I am going to sit down tonight and work out a plan for tomorrow and set some goals to give me a bit of direction. Tonight I rediscovered chocolate. My taste buds are waking up. Oh and also I can now officially say herbal Tea tastes like ass! Hope everyone is safe and well. xxx

I'm glad you're making a plan. Congratulations on Day 4.

I love herbal tea. Have you tried dandelion? It has a roasted taste and is supposedly good for the liver and digestion.

Treerat66 03-24-2014 06:40 AM

Peppermint tea is good.

Mish 03-24-2014 06:44 AM

I don't think I soaked it in water long enough. I'll give the Peppermint and The Dandelion flavours a go tomorrow...I'm sure I'll find one I like thru trial and error.

I soak dandelion for about 15 minutes. I live the roasted tast

Well that's why mine tasted like ass then. It was in the cup for only a minute!

I like fruit herbal teas. But most of all just a proper cup of tea :-)

I think I went through all sorts of drinks before I discovered that for me there wasn't really any 'replacement' for beer.

Well done for giving up!

Try Lemonbalm, it is a great anxiolytic.

You'll be right in a day or two. Still laughing at your analogy of herbal teas. I don't care for them much either :) My thing is pop xxxxx

Sparkos 03-24-2014 09:46 AM

I LOVE Pu-Erh. It's a Chinese black tea.
Refreshing and delicious

Coldfusion 03-24-2014 09:48 AM

Coffee is delicious, and sometimes can cure a headache.

chickippo 03-24-2014 11:04 AM

i can recommend Valerian tea - it smells like feet but tastes delicious and helps me sleep.

also, green tea chai is spicy and wonderful...

fruit teas can **** off though. ugh.

Pu-Erh...pooh-errr...ass sounding, anyone? Jk!!

Johnston, thanks for the dandelion tea recommendation, I like the sound of the roasted flavour.

Hope4Life 03-24-2014 11:17 AM

Sorry Mish but I have to ask.... how do you know what ASS tastes like? LOL!
Thanks for the laugh!

The brewery I used to frequent had a septic that would back up into the drain in the bar area, talk about DISGUSTING! One night, the evening bar tender walked in and shouted... 'THIS PLACE SMELLS LIKE ASS!'.

I don't care for herbal tea's either but I'll admit that I drink tea for the caffeine as a morning boost. I have a couple cup's each day.

You guys are hysterically funny. The title of this thread made me burst out laughing.

Not tea, but coconut water cooled down or room temperature is my absolute favorite thing to drink.

PurpleKnight 03-24-2014 12:45 PM

You need to get one of these and give it a good brewing:
