High Zen Tea Time

Charbay Green Tea vodka created by master distiller and winemaker  Miles Charbay_greentea_2 Karakasevic took five years to formulate and perfect.

The bright green liquid contains extractions of four tea varieties from China's famed Anhwei province, a prime source and growing region along China's Silk Route. The result is a blend akin to how perfumes are formulated, with a top-note fragrance, middle structure and long, smooth base finish.

Charbay cultivated its own vodka niche back in 1998 with flavored vodkas distilled exclusively from the real fruit--virtually unheard of in the commercial market. Charbay classics are Blood Orange, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon and Key Lime Vodka--next up is raspberry.

It's recommended that this blend be served on the rocks or simply chilled in a martini glass. It's a bit more in cost than you might expect--$35 for a 750ml bottle. Certainly a curious idea given that most of us drink green tea for it's health benefits.  Could be a whole new taste sensation!

A combination of cold milk and fruit juices such as mango, apple or plantains these drinks can be a snack or a light meal.

Shucking Corn Shucking Corn Do it outside Inside would make a mess Break off the stem Peel back the tassel and husk Don't think about the taste The sweet crunchy kernels Or how your salty lips will pucker Concentrate on your work Peel most of the silk then rub off the rest It's not time for dinner yet Don't think about the glistening rows After the golden ear is buttered up Or about the crunchy sounds When your teeth munch into the kernels Now bring the ears to the cook Put the husks and silk in the garbage And forget about the coming joy from Hero Island, a book of poems by Stephen B. Wiley
