I bought some "Sleepytime Tea" today to supposedly help me sleep...BUT sheesh, it tastes funny and looks like dirty dishwater.

So, can ya'all tell me how to make it drinkable? This stuff tastes like shit!!

LOL!

^^^^^^ a little Southern lingo there

"not that there's anything wrong with that (taste)" meheheh

Funny that you should mention that tea. I've got a box right on my counter top. It's Celestial Seasonings and has a pic of a BEAR! sleeping on a chair in front of a fireplace with a dead cat on his lap. (I had a dead cat too, yesterday, sadly)

Anyway...the tea: you could always add sugar and milk (gag) or what I do is....I use 2 teabags instead of one and let it steep for at least 10-12 minutes. I like it strong and it has no caffeine so who cares?

If it still tastes like crap, Plan B is guaranteed to work:

Plan B: Drink 3 beers within 15 minutes, then have your tea. Everything tastes fine after chugging 3 beers quickly. meheheheh

PS - The tea does NOT help you sleep! It's called Sleepy Time because it contains no caffeine to keep you awake.

If you like this email, tell Mr.Mix-a-Plix to send me $5.

I'm close to the Celestion Seasonings factory. I had lunch at their cafeteria. First it was cool. Then it sucked. They have a lot of prairie dogs in their yard.

Wait a minute, what were we talking about again?

Huh huh...you said "teabag".

Hi MOM.

I feel your pain. I too find the taste of dirty dishwater disagreeable. I would imagine shit tastes even worse, but I haven't tried shit, so I can't really speak to that.

But, I have a recipe that will improve the taste of that tea. Give it a try:

1. For the Ingredients: go to Maxi-Mart and get a tray of nachos and a 6-pak of beer (I usually go for The Edge, or one of the other fine brands they sell there).

  • Come home. Heat up the nachos in the microwave.
  • Brew a pot of Sleepytime Tea, according to package directions.
  • Get a glass and pour in half a can of The Edge.

5. Take a strainer and pour the tea through the strainer down the sink.

  • Pour the other half a can of The Edge into the glass.
  • Drink with the nachos on the side.
