Nighttime Food Cravings - entry by @impersonal

Greetings my dear friends of Steemit and Ladies Universe

As I'm losing my normal sleep due to age, my sleep cycle is peculiar. I can wake up at any point of time in the middle of night due to various reasons. There is no fixed time when my sleep can break.

I normally try to postpone my craving and try to lay down on bed to continue sleep. But if it is too early I wake for a tea break. Normally I'm not allowed to enter kitchen in day time. But if everyone is in deep sleep I feel confident to enter kitchen.

I rarely open the fridge because I don't want any soft and cold drink at that moment, but I sometimes steal a small byte of chocolate which is restricted for my consumption.

I'm not sure exactly what amount of tea leaves to be taken for right flavour and liquor from Lipton Darjeeling long leaf tea. I have come to know that right temperature for brewing is 90°C. You need not to measure the temp. It is taken as granted that the temp is 90° when the water start bubble at the bottom. Some orthodox tea expert suggested to rinse the tea pot with hot water. I don't follow that as I make tea directly in tea mug putting tea leaves in the sieve placed on the mug. Just about three hour ago I made my today's tea. I would have taken a photo of the arrangement if I would have known that there is a contest Contest time - Tell Us About Your Nighttime Food Cravings 🌙.

Let us talk about the brewing time. It depends upon your choice. If one wants to have light liquor with nice flavour two minutes is enough. But expert suggest five minutes is Idea brewing time for best nutritious tea with extract of antioxidants from it. But I usually brew it upto three minutes. During this time I had two Cream crackers biscuits as solid food for my cravings. ofcourse I never drink tea with milk and sugar at home.

You'll be more surprise to know that the test of tea depends on the colour of the cup. Tea in a red cup is more tasty than in a grey Cup.

Now it's time for our family morning tea.

Before I conclude I would like to invite three fellow Steemians to participate in the contest
