  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Tea and Coconuts
A great tea that I have made is one composed of strong black tea and cocunut milk. It creates a great and exotic flavor and the milk adds such a silky texture to the tea. I also like to make black tea a put a cinnamin stick in it. Great during the holidays!=)

Seaberry tea
I discovered a wonderful herb for a tea. Due to my work I often get my hands burned so I always keep a bottle of seaberry oil handy. A couple of years ago I planted seaberry in my garden so I can make my own oil, and one day it occurred to me to dry some leaves and make a seaberry tea. To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be a great understatement - I was blown away. Now I am drinking it every day and even came up with some cool recipes.

My favorite ice tea for a hot day:
1 tea spoon of dried seaberry leaves
1 tea spoon of dried mint leaves
2 cups of boiled water.
Let it brew for 10-15 min then strain and let it cool. Add 1 table spoon of honey, throw in some ice and enjoy it.

This fall I am going to plant more of it. This stuff is unbelievable.

Tea & Lemonade = Great Iced Tea
When I was younger and I lived in hot, humid Texas, my friends and I would sell homemade jewelry and lemonade during the summer. The lemonade didn't sell very well, so my mom (bless her) poured some plain black tea into it (make it with country time powder and make sure the amount of lemonade and tea is equal) to make this delicious, aromatic tea that tasted great on ice.

We get some kind (don't remember the brand, maybe Lipton?) vanilla. I really like it :) Don't care too much for green tea. I also like regular, just plain tea, sweet or unsweet, it doesn't matter. But I don't drink it much anymore because I'm watching my caffeine intake.
