I am an espresso person, having a cup of double espresso in the morning marks the start of my day. Sometimes when I need a second zip of caffeine, it has to be taken before 2pm ( tested and proved ) otherwise it will be a sleepless night. The other night I start to think about non-caffeine tea that can keep me refreshing and delightful when I am pulling an all-nighter. Camomile, hibiscus and bufferfly peas are some of my favourite edible flowers for making tea, simply stir in honey and lemon could make it a great one. I like to enjoy it on a summer night (or day), when I need a little break from work.
