We’ve just returned home from a meal at an Indian restaurant in Ulaanbaatar. The internet says it’s -26C outside. Well, my face was cold but I don’t know that it was really that bad. But we were only walking for five minutes so who knows.
Now I’m sitting in the apartment on a loaned laptop with the Husband and our host Mr Corridor both on their computers. And I’m trying rosehip and hibiscus tea.
Normally I’m very dubious of herbal teas, especially fruit-flavoured ones. They always smell nice but taste too bitter. I only let this one steep for a minute rather than the suggested three or four so hopefully it’s panned out.
I’m really only drinking this because Mrs Corridor said it was a gift that neither of them really like. If I can help clean out a cupboard I will!
Let it sit for a long time: I hate really hot liquids. It’s red as raspberry cordial. The smell is subdued.
It tastes quite tart in the mouth, with that instant dry feeling on the tongue. Once swallowed it leaves a sweet taste, pleasant.
I don’t know what rosehip or hibiscus is supposed to taste like, but for a herbal tea this is quite nice.
It’s gotten a bit cold and less pleasant now. It sits heavier now, not as refreshing as before.
But that’s okay, I can always add more hot water! And in this climate you can’t drink too much of that.
