It's not all about 'builder's tea' or Earl Grey - there are so many different teas from all around the world just waiting to be discovered and experimented with, and which will do wonders for your health, beauty and home cooking. The Miracle of Tea offers a short history of teas before moving on to discuss where tea can most effectively make a contribution to our lives - be that as a remedy, a beauty treatment or just a delicious drink to sit back and enjoy, perhaps as part of a healthy diet. The first chapter takes us through everything we need to know about teas, including different types, tastes and textures. The rest of the book looks more practically at what we can do with teas, from tips on buying and storing them to how to make use of them for caring for ourselves and our homes. Finally, there's a selection of the most delicious tea-containing recipes, carefully chosen to inspire and delight.
