I'm gonna put the chicken on there too cuz we gotta have some meat she sent this Bengal spice herbal tea and we had it yesterday it's like a chai tea it was so delicious and I'm gonna make it today with very little or maybe no sugar at all because I put cream and sugar in yesterday but it was too sweet for me like I loved it but I added more water to it cuz I just put too much sugar I I prefer it to be a little less sweet than what I made because I didn't know what to expect and I want it to be done that way

So okay those are heating up steeping turnip pouch gently squeeze or Fanclub squeeze it gently I just much mash it into nothingness two inches to vent 90 seconds okay so we're going with mods rocks and lentils with the coconut YUM so this is only gonna be 60 seconds so this is gonna be a fast meal thank you Amy Fisher person and knees this by the way Steve was mmm mmm and the whole time he loved it so much and I did too and this is like a savory tea it's got a spiciness to it it's it's just delicious
