| Yep, it is real aloe vera. I live in the tropicals of Florida. I have too
much. But often, they sell the plants so might try looking in a garden shop
there. They can grow well on the window sill with plenty of light and
warmth.
That Egyptian Spice tea sounds quite interesting. I have some orange-spiced
tea which is good and my favorite, peach tea.
I will have to look in the stores around here to see if they carry the Yogi
brand. Never heard of Barleycup.
As far as nuts, I am a nut! LOL Only kidding, i can not eat nuts anymore
because of the diverticulosis, but if i puree all my nuts into a peanut
butter concoction then it is okay. I sure am tired today. I hope my
thyroid is not acting up again... or should i say, needs a boost.
Always,
