Thread: Spices

What do you think of setting up a spice page for around the world...Putting people together for spices.

Hey sounds cool....coming from two culttures that use some exciting spices ...I'm all for it...good way to generate 'food' travel also.

Got any redheads???
SPICY!!!

Really....like the idea, and goes back to what Bee and talked about long-go.....the Walkerswood/banana pepper hot sauces, etc....some akee.....etc....whatever....a global condiment exchange?

OOPPPS Sorry i thought you said species. my Apologises.

Good idea though.

Sounds interesting, hot peppers included?

Yup. I'm personally waiting to see if JaneBond (Terri) offers up some Arizona-grown peppers.....she's probably still busy dealing with the huge wildfire going on......

My favorite spices are ginger, cinnamon, clove, I love to make a fresh ginger tea. Just slice off a piece or three of ginger root and steep it in hot water, I also put in some honey...mmmmmmm
I love chai tea...
A nice hot coffee with a dash of cinnamon on top is wonderful!
And Im sure this will open a mouth or two - I chew whole cloves like gum...lol....yums.....

Glad you all like it, yes Vasili you did kind of give me the idea. I have to figure out how to do it.

Cloves??? Yuck! I hate those things - well, I like the flavour, but if I ever bite down hard on one....!! Kate, you must have very odd taste buds!

OH yummies! I love cloves! I dont really bite hard, just kinda roll it around with slight love bites..lol...
yes I do have very strange tastes....but thats a good thing as when my taste buds go to what most concider "normal"...Im pregnant...lol...so bring on the pickles and ice cream! thats safe for me!...

Jalapeños ! and of course Chipotle - a little spice is good.

Kate if you like chai...next time add about 2-3 whole cloves, 2-3 pods of cardamon, and a small pinch of black pepper..this isa spicy sweet tea that is popular in south india....some add a lot of other sweet spices also. You can also buy a nice 'tea' masala at inidan stores and add it to your tea for a wonderfully tasty tea.

We need to add to the spice page recipes too.

Thank you again

Free advertising, thank you Bee. You'll find both teas at http://www.blueearthtea.com/flavored.html

Bill...how absolutely delightful...what a nice selection you have. I had not gotten a chance to get back to your sight and see all the variety you offer.

As an Indian it is so not done to buy 'tea' masala...you must make your own as with all masalas...but I don't think anyone really cares anymore and so it is nice to see it already for brewing.

Thanks

P.S.

I would like put you as a link on my recipe page ...would that be alright and do you have a logo link I can use? I plan on putting a few tea recipes and I'll just make it easy for the visitors to get it direct from a source like yours.

Hi Bee, wow I learned something new. Good idea to make a mention of that someplace in my site. It is delicious.

Of course it would be alright to link on your recipe page - thank you. Since i'm new, what is a logo link? Is it: http://www.blueearthtea.com/Title%20for%20web_04_04.gif ?

Thanks ...yes that is exactly what I was asking for...I call them logo links in my head...lol.

bzzz

Look at what we have started isn't this great?

Thanks Beezzz..Ill try that. I like to make my own teas as I can control what is in it..somedays I need more ingredients than other days...
I have heard of the masala tea...I used to live right across from an Indian resturaunt...where I had take out many times...

Kate, stop by for a visit, You'll be surprised by the number of teas.

Bzzzzz.

Awesome link , thank you

Also consider some of our popular herbal teas in Jamaica...Ginger, Cerasse, Hibiscus and a few others..they are pld teas considered 'bush teas' used by locals to treat all sort of ailments...now popularized and sold by big companies here...you may find a a good company that will special blend for you..if you like I'll try and see what I can find out..may take a bit of time....it'll e interesting now that I think about it.

latah.

Gald you like it Kate...lI sometimes just add a few cardamom to my tea while brewwing if I want a nicely scented and sweet tea.

For me the aroma is half the pleasure. Im never sure which I enjoy more! and when its both...thats a good thing...and dont take this wrong - but Ive always been a spice girl.....

Kate...I know what you mean about the smells. I love reading a book and having the aroma of a nice spiced coffee or tea to put me it to my cozy spot.

Yeaaah Sharon for gettin' us all started on the spice page as I think of it/ Can't wait till you start your spice page.

lol...thats exactly what I feared!...lol...I should have said cinnamon girl...lol....but that s'ok...I agree with the wonderful spicy aroma while cuddled in to read or to just sit and listen to the wind...

Cinnamon girl....I'll have to put my banana spice nut recipe online for all. It has a wonderful cinnamon flavor.
I love wild weather...howling winds...rain pouring down...I used to live by the sea and watch the waves pound away outside my windows and it is just so exhilarating....althoug the pitter patter of raindrops is just as calming...best time to read. You can realy loose your self in your books.

That would be great. If Jamaican tea is like their coffee, it will be great hearing from them. Thanks,
