Dandelion Latte


Early mornings and coffee are a perfect pair.  Mid morning coffee breaks are a true delight. but an after work relaxing cup of coffee will bring a miserable night of sleeplessness. But there is nothing so cozy and comfortable than a quick break with a mug of a hot beverage. 

Hot tea: includes all the ingredients I crave,a time to relax, warmth but I just don't like black tea...or green tea!  I'm experimenting a have found some flavors that are favored and always on the lookout for something new.

Dandelion tea is one I read about which has fabulous benefits.  Benefits include:

It improves digestion and aids weight loss.

It helps to purify the bladder and kidneys.

It reduces the risk of urinary tract infections.

It contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium, vitamins B and C.

It helps to purify the blood, regulate blood sugar and improves blood circulation.

It helps to ease bloating and aching joints.

It helps to cure skin conditions.


Since I prefer the coffee, latte texture to hot tea, when this recipe for Dandelion Latte was found, I immediately tried it!  This is it!  Creamy texture, warm and filling and adding a load of healthy benefits...this is my new afternoon indulgence! 

Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

1 Organic Roasted Dandelion Root Tea bags

4 ounces of Coconut Milk

Your preferred Sweetener - drops of Stevie or honey


INSTRUCTIONS

Whip it up for a short bit and get ready for Frothy, yummy & simply indulgent!!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
