My first wife swore by the application of Chamomile tea for yeast infections.
And quite right too Iām sure 
I drink very little teaā¦but if I do I wave a tea bag at boiling water drunk without milk or sugarā¦any old tea bag will do but hubby drinks Yorkshire tea so its usually that.

PG Tips in this house, but Iām a coffee drinker 
I spent a lit of time when I was in Taiwan. Green tea was the order of the day.
Tea can be quite easily made into wine by the way. I can still remember that lovely smell as it started to ferment with the raisins, yeast and lemon 
Unfortunately green tea makes be biliousā¦
Typhoo One Cup bags . Theyāre not strong .

Decaf PG Tips, no sugar, no milk for Mr M and myself. 
Sounds good Zuleika, I donāt like strong tea, I drink it to quench my thirst rather than for the taste. Plenty of milk with a small spoonful of sugarā¦Too strong and it tastes like washing up waterā¦
OGF you do surprise me thought youād be Yorkshire tea man .
I like milky tea too,no sugar tho and drink it for the same reason as you . Definitely two mugs of it first thing .

I do drink Yorkshire Tea but donāt let it brew too long. I usually drink Twinings fruit tea first thing in the morning to hydrate after a nights sleep. My first mug of tea comes after a bowl of porridge and sometimes accompanied by some dunking biscuitsā¦
OGF Iāve never got on with fruit teas , do they actually do anything for you ?
Iām thinking of making proper porridge this coming winter ,which brand of oats do you use ?

The fruit tea is more for the hydration without the caffeine as with tea or coffee Zuleika.
My porridge is āScotts Porridge Oatsā 2 oz with 300 ml of semi skimmed milk. Full fat milk is best but not good for the figureā¦I add a squirt of honey and a sprinkle of sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Donāt forget a teaspoon of Turmeric while stirring on the hobā¦
I have that practically every dayā¦Summer and Winterā¦Iām a bit of a creature of habitā¦
I will try OGF but donāt fancy washing pans used for porridge making these days .

What! donāt you have a microwave?
Cup of water, half a cup of Quick Oats in your bowl.
Microwave for about 2 minutes - just watch it the first time until it comes up like a volcano for the timing. Stir, add butter, milk and eat. (Sugar if you want)
Perfect porridge and just a bowl to wash up. My breakfast this morning.

I didnāt know about the volcano Bruceā¦very sticky mess all over the microwave! I use a pan on the hob, but now i know the trick I might revert. Thanks
Forget the microwave, use a pan and do it properly for heavenās sake! 
Decent oats diligently attended to on the hob perhaps with a little cinnamon, served with some mixed dried fruit, almond flakes and runny honey.
Or fresh/frozen fruit, blueberries, blackberries, sliced banana etcā¦ make it yer own

What is the difference between Quick Oats and Rolled Oats? Absolutely nothing except the grind is finer.
The difference between heating water in a microwave and on a hob? Absolutely nothing except the amount of washing up it produces.
Precisely, the quick/finer grade oats have a more sludgy consistency than the whole rolled oats, and a carefully attended pan produces far superior results than a microwave anyday. Itās something to enjoy and indulge in, anyway whatās the big deal with washing up a pan and a wooden spoon itās hardly backbreaking work
