You may already eating essential oils but you didn't know!!

Have you ever had a cup of a Earl Grey Tea? It is Bergamot that makes that tea so special!Have you ever enjoyed Chai tea? The Brand Stash add essentials to their Chai

According to Wikipedia:
The traditional masala chai is a bracing, strongly spiced beverage brewed with so-called "warm" spices. The basic chai wallah tea uses fresh ginger and green cardamom pods.[3] Most masala chai found in restaurants or homes incorporates one or more of the following: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, fennel seeds, peppercorn, and cloves.
Traditionally, cardamom is a dominant note, supplemented by other spices such as cloves, ginger, or black pepper; the latter two add a pleasantly piquant flavour. In India, fresh ginger is often used.
However, in Western India, fennel and black pepper are expressly avoided.[citation needed] The Kashmiri version of chai is brewed with green tea instead of black tea and has a more subtle blend of flavorings: almonds, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and sometimes saffron. In Bhopal, typically, a pinch of salt is added.
Other possible ingredients include nutmeg, rose flavouring (where rose petals are boiled along with the loose-leaf tea), or liquorice root There are often essential oils powering the food we eat, we just didn't know it! That is the same way the crummy chemicals got in our food, we just didn't notice! There is a sermon in there for sure!!

I just saw on a show that the deicer they use in Alaska for planes is PROPYLENE GLYCOL. For more information about that refer to prior post.

When we pick up some momentum here we will start some recipe contests!!

Let me know if you have a favorite essential oil. Do you have a favorite tea?
