🇲🇽 Have you heard of this tea? Agua de bugambilia is a traditional Mexican floral infusion made from the vibrant petals of the bougainvillea plant. Delicately sweet and lightly aromatic, it is typically prepared by steeping the flowers in water and sweetening the infusion with sugar or honey. The drink is valued not only for its striking pink-purple hue, but also for its refreshing character and long-standing association with traditional home remedies, particularly for soothing the throat and easing coughs. Served chilled or warm, agua de bugambilia offers a subtle floral flavor that captures the essence of Mexico’s colorful gardens. Repost:@ tasteatlas Agua de bugambilia by @sunyattaamen

Tribe, grab your iron skillet! Comment “CORNBREAD” 🍞 and I’ll send you my Aunt Pat’s Ginger Turmeric Cornbread recipe 💌Let’s face it… most cornbread is just sweet yellow cake in disguise. 🥸 🍰 But this one? This is Grown Folks’ cornbread — moist, savory, golden, and full of flavor from jalapeño, garlic, fresh rosemary straight from my garden 🌿 and cheese melted right into the mix 🥘.And the BONUS? It’s anti-inflammatory too, thanks to our Calabash Ginger Turmeric Superfood Blend. A little heat, a lot of healing — no sugar bombs here.As Aunt Pat would say about this cornbread:“It doesn’t need to be sweet. You’re sweet enough already.” 😘🙏🏼#Cornbread #CalabashTea #KitchenWitch #FoodIsMedicine #DecolonizeYourTongue by @sunyattaamen
