Chewy Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

The amazing Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie! Which had a wonderful texture,
But lacked in taste, strangely this was because of too much sugar.
Which being a youth I find hard to believe, but its true. I recommend that
if you try this recipe that you half the sugar, or at least Not quite as much.

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

                                                        

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Hope They work for you!

Citrus Tea (Lemon Myrtle, Kaffir Lime and Mint Tea)

Dried Mint + Cirus Leaves.

 I have been dying Mint, Lemon Myrtle 
and Kaffir Lime Leaves:
This took much longer than expected,
and had an extremely strong aroma which was a little
sickening.
I then made tea in my Ecology Tea Cup,
these are very handy when making tea by oneself,
but lack in the size of a Teapot when making tea for many.
Now the tea itself had a strange taste, as though the mint had
fermented, not in a bad way, but it wasn't Perfect,
the tea wasnt strong enough but the flavour althouh weak still
seamed to overwhelm you.

Next time I will hopefully use Lemongrass in my tea, this is a lovely tasting
herb/grass that can often be found in juices and many Asian Dishes.
