Tonics have long held a sort of mystery + allure. I've often felt like there is a sort of monetary + educational barrier there. Lately, however, I have allowed myself to view them with a sense of play. I see them more as a ritual imbued with the meaning they bring to my own day rather than a preexisting prescription.
I had forgotten what these little moments of creativity can add to my day. There is a sort of stretching + imagining that adds an extra sense of wellness to these concoctions.
Today I made some tea, added a few ripped up dried peaches (bought for snacking, but found less appealing than anticipated) + a squeeze of date syrup (a new-to-me ingredient bought for a specific recipe).
Maybe it's just a drink, but maybe it is so much more:
Love,
Jane

Maybe it's just a drink, but maybe it is so much more:
- a way to use up things that could otherwise languish into waste
- a way to hydrate + nourish my body
- a reminder to take a breath + savor the moment
- an call to creativity
- a ritual I want to make part of my day
Love,
