lava tea and cooking oil

[asakiyume]

I have two new food treasures: One, from mnfaure (thank you my dear!), is Thé des songes, tea of dreams, which is fragrant and ethereal like dreams, but the look of it--black, with bursts of red and gold--is like the surface of a lava lake, so I think of it as lava tea.



And the other, red as blood, red as hot lava, is this bottle of palm oil!



And with this bottle of palm oil, I'm going to make *even more* of Flo Madubike's recipes. I'm going to start with this one, for fried beans.

I think I have had tea like that. The kind I had contained yerba matte and rooibos, which seems a little... odd, but it was pretty and chocolatey (or chickory-y).

That sounds very nice! I like straight tea flavors, all sorts, but I do like these ones that have other flavors as well, it turns out, and I love the look with the petals and peels and things. ann_leckie's Propriety tea was so pretty, with cornflower blossoms in it.
