The Tea Book warmly supports women

When Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death,” it is unlikely he knew how prescient his words would remain hundreds of years later. But as people across the nation are being forced to choose between respecting their own bodies and making their own decisions or facing pain and potential death, the call to freedom and resistance is stronger than ever.

Fortunately, we have access to a drink that is as old as Henry himself and that can still refresh and sustain weary resister and revolutionaries.

In addition to such pun-ny and pleasant product personali-TEAs as Fred-TEA Mercury, Hippocra-TEAs, and Nikola TEAs-la, Tea Book now offers readings on those who have stood up for the rights of others to protect and preserve themselves in a new collection called My Bod-TEA, My Choice. This inspiringly sippable set includes teas named for the legendary likes of Fri-TÉ Khalo and TEA-eigo Rivera, Joe Bi-TEA-n, Ruth Bader Ginseng (a.k.a. “R.B.TEA”), and even Volod-TEA-myr Zelensky!

While the fun names and comic artwork bring some levi-TEA to a serious situation, The Tea Book is offering serious support to communi-TEAs in need by donating proceeds to Planned Parenthood so that more people can exercise their own choices while they soothe their own bodies and those of others they love. 

Through October 15, The Tea Book is also celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a special savings and offerings, including a La-TEA-n varie-TEA, proceed from which will go to the Museum of Latin American Art in California.

As the Tea Book continues to add chapters, it can be difficult to pick which to brew first. No matter which Tea Book set you get, you can be sure that they are all made from the freshest ingredients, are organic, GMO- and gluten-free, and kosher, and come in recyclable and Eco Choice packaging, so you can feel good about your choice while sharing in the boun-TEA of liber-TEA that Henry demanded all those years ago.

SYRUP PLUS!

 

As Matt’s Meals fans know, I LOVE syrup! In fact, in addition to slathering pancakes and waffles with faves like Ackerman’s, Anderson’s, Sugar Bob’s, and Cochrane’s ski-inspired Slopeside (some of which I am not too proud to admit I drink from the bottle!), I recently came upon a new maple-based sensation at the Boston Local Food Fest that would make even my dear grandma happy!

Inspired by his mother’s recipe, Ron Cort created Nana’s Special Sauce to keep his kids as happy as he was as a kid whenever it was time for family breakfast. Fortunately, the family secret is now being shared with other families all over!

Instead of just pouring pure maple on her waffles and pancakes, Ron’s mother (a.k.a., “Nana” to his kids who ate it all through college and still enjoy it to this day) made them more like real cakes by adding butter and more than a touch of marshmallow!

Today, with help from the food folks at Cornell (who also produce the New Leaf line of amazing “alternative” syrups), Nana’s Special Sauce continues to please and surprise new generations, not only with its delicious flavor and satisfying consistency but also with its versatility- No longer limited to breakfast, Nana’s special syrup is great on ice cream, in beverages, in the many recipes that show up on their website (www.nanasspecialsauce.com), and (if direct bottle drinking is frowned upon in your home) just on a spoon!

In addition to making kids and parents happy with its sweet and sticky flavor, the family-run company also makes people happy by donating proceeds to charities like No Kid Hungry and St Jude’s Hospitals for Children. It is a sweet deal all around and one that I recommend you get in on before breakfast tomorrow!

I am a WHEY big fan!
