Daily Dose of Goodness

Every day I drink a steaming mug of hot tea. But not just any tea, I drink chai tea, which I used to make from scratch, but now I’ve made it easier by drinking Good Earth Organic Seven Spice Chai tea, which I have found is the best next to homemade. It is a delicious blend of black tea, cardamom, ginger root, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, star anise, licorice root, vanilla, and just a little spearmint. The perfect way to make this tea is to fill your mug half way with hot water, steep the tea bag for about two minutes, then add honey and milk. It is sweet, and smooth with just a touch of spice. I believe everyone should try this tea at least once, and I think you may just develop a habit!

Another reason to use the Good Earth brand is because each bag has a proverb or positive saying from famous people attached to its string. I have started compiling these little morsels of goodness in my journal and thought I would share with you some of my favorites. Maybe you will find one or two that touch you that you may want to keep close to your heart also. So away we go!
