I tasted the plain liquid in my mug.
Was it…caramel?
What did I taste?
It was…vanilla? cream?
What was it…licorice? Yes.
And what else….flowers?
Yes It was like drinking nectar from…what kind of flower…
Honey Suckles, like the ones back home in California…yet these suckles were made with licorice…
Red or Black…black licorice for sure…
Sweet and cream were added.
What was it…Creamy? Caramely?
It was…light…bright…yet heavy like twilight…
What was that flavor…Licorice? flowers? creamy caramel? All of the above, I think.
The flavors were wet and heavy in my mouth with an aftertaste of…cream? No…more like melted caramel…
It was like laying in a pasture of colorful flowers, petals tickling my nose and scattering over my body…The aroma of nectar…The hum of bees over my head…A gentle breeze…
Then I swallowed.
Everything vanished.
I took another sip…
I was back in that pasture, full of delight.
I swallowed and it vanished again.
I had no choice but to keep sipping away at the sweet liquid until it was gone…
This tea was very calming and just perfect for a boring and hazy night on the couch all alone.
