My minor head cold has progressed into a full-blown obnoxious case of alternative sneezing and coughing with a little runny nose thrown in for laughs.
I went to the Shak Shak today for some tea, forgoeing my normal order of iced coffee. The lovely ladies at the Shak Shak noticed my sniffling frog-in-the-throat voice and did not even offer the tea box for selection - they had something special for me.
I watched as they grabbed a handful of what looked like long blades of grass, rinsed them off, stuffed them into a cup, poured a nice helping of honey on top, and then added hot water. Without even asking what medicine man concoction they had handed me, I was off to class with my theraputic mug of yummy goodness.
Upon reaching class and opening the lid, I was immediately overwhelmed with the scent of fresh lemons. I have since had two helpings of this elixor of the gods, and am feeling better than I did drugging myself with Tylenol Cold meds earlier in the day. Still sneezing up a storm, but no more abnoxious coughing or stuffy head.

Move over Teavana!!
Love my hand-made sippy-cup.
I think I want to start a little garden of lemongrass at home! I highly recommend it!
2 people had something to say:
GET THE RECIPE. THIS COULD BE THE START OF YOUR NEW BUSINESS. JUST PICTURE IT--SASKIA'S TEA SHAK. IT COULD BE LOCATED ON DALE MABRY IN ONE OF THOSE STRIP MALL WITH SATELLITE LOCATIONS IN MALLS, ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, IN HOSPITAL CAFETERIAS, ETC... JUST THINKING OF A RETIREMENT PLAN FOR MYSELF. I WILL GLADLY MOVE OVER AND LET SASKIA TAKE OVER THE VET STUFF AND I IN FOR THE TEA PARTY

HAVE YOU CAUGHT ANY INTESTINAL PARASITES FROM THE LEMON GRASS??
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DO A FECAL CHECK WHEN THERE IS A BIT OF DIARRHEA!! THAT'S WHAT A GOOD VET WOULD DO.
