Advent Day 16

This tea is a lie. If I were hoping for kiwi, coconut or cherry I’d be disappointed. This here is a strawberry tea. Bright fresh ripe strawberries. Not the big kind that you find in the grocery store, the kind you buy as a plant at a nursery and grows the tiniest strawberries that hardly seem worth the effort but then you taste them and are blown away by how much flavor they pack. Then you realize they self propagate like crazy in all the pots around them. So you get two sets of those stacking planters and you find you have enough strawberry plants for 24 slots and think you are going to be rich in delicious strawberries come summer time. But the year is 2020 and summer doesn’t exactly happen like normal. It doesn’t get hot enough to signal your plants to flower and fruit so you spend all summer watering this stack of plants that give you noting. At least there is this tea to remind me of the taste. Cold steeped for several hours.
