Body-Owie-Mix Tea

Strongly supporting the believe that if it helps, it doesn’t HAVE to taste bad, I searched and practiced until I had an effective mix as well as is quite tasty. For large amounts on a daily basis, I just have to have a yummy :) In a pinch, the two parts additions alone are mandatory, the rest is icing on the cake, but it works much faster with all ingredients. I’m in the lucky position of having most of them stocked anyhow, so it wasn’t as if ordering them bulk was an inconvenience.
