contemplative cranberry ginger rose tea.
I’m in a quiet, contemplative mood - completely lost in thought. There are times when it’s a necessary progression (in order to figure things out) but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. It might help to have something to take along the (introspective) way. I think I'll *bake*.
I'm feeling...
something that doesn’t take me too far away from my thoughts,
something that’s not too challenging to make,
something with a delicate scent,
something that’s cooling but sweetly so...
TLDR:
- I’m contemplative
- I’ll *bake*
- Cranberry Ginger Rose Tea
- Delicate, Sweet, Cooling
- Subtle
With this tea, you think you know what [taste] to expect; tart (cranberry) and earthy (ginger) with a little sweet (raspberry) only to find a subtle floral (rose) taste at the end. Thus, a perfect example of the activity going on in my head today.
Baking can be a lot of things – it can be distracting but simple, it can be movement with focus, it can be whatever you need when you need it. Choose a recipe to fit the mood and it becomes a useful tool as well – baking to quiet the mind, to connect with your emotions, or simply baking to feel emotional. Just think of the feelings you get and the emotions you experience when baking your favourite dessert…. excitement, relief, fulfillment, joy, accomplishment.
