How insecure can you be? Everyone was ordering beers but I didn’t feel like drinken, so I ordered tea. I guess my masculinity is in shambles right now.

Guys, drink whatever you want.

    The idea of brewing your own tea (or any food) with ingredients that you’ve grown yourself is just really cool to me, for some reason.

      Not growing the entirety of my own food, but I do grow most all of my own herbs for cooking. Most herbs are pretty easy to grow and it’s nice to know I will always have some (very) fresh herbs on hand.

      Includes some mint that does quite often get used for tea.

      Give it a try. Mint is really easy. Basil is also easy, and technically related to mint anyway. Even if you don’t have much space, you can do those on an apartment balcony still. Bonus, mint naturally keeps away some types of insects that we normally consider pests.

      well the tea leaves might be a bit more difficult to get since tea bushes need a very specific climate to grow*

      But personally having done it with mint, it’s not cottagecore vibes in my case lol. I could get mint at the store and it would be most of the same (although I think I have Moroccan mint which is the best one imo and I can’t always get it fresh at the store), it’s just that growing it I always have leaves for my needs without needing a trip to the store, at least when it’s in season lol

      Think I’m gonna go make mint ice tea now though 🤔
