Peppermint + Strawberry Iced Tea + Healthy Eating...

Hey!

I've currently been eating healthier because I know for a fact that I'm not the healthiest person in the world. So I recently discovered I can trick myself into eating things I haven't eaten before, that I probably wouldn't like (especially over a packet of sweets) I trick myself into thinking that what I'm eating is really nice, by just thinking as I'm chewing on a pecan nut "this is really nice - this is better than crisps" and things like that so now although I would prefer a packet of crisps or sweets A handful of nuts and dried fruit is just as nice and better for me.

I've also been drinking iced peppermint + strawberry tea which is actually really nice, and peppermint tea is great for cleansing your digestive system and strawberries are just really nice so I thought I'd give you a short tutorial of how to make this lovely drink.

Peppermint + Strawberry Iced Tea

Ingredients ;
Peppermint Tea
Ice
A couple of strawberries
1 - 2 tsp of honey
  1. Boil the kettle
  2. Make the peppermint tea using the honey
  3. Place the cup of tea on a window ledge until it has cooled
  4. If you aren't going anywhere, place in the fridge for roughly 30 minuets (more if you think is necessary). If you are on the go, read step 5.
  5. Grab 3 - 5 strawberries depending on the amount of tea and the size of your mug, flask or glass and either half or quarter them.
  6. Grab 3 - 4 ice cubes and put in a glass.
  7. Add the strawberries, then the tea.
  8. Leave to rest (if you are on the go just put the lid on the flask and gently shake from side to side or just carry it to wherever you're going and the strawberries should have mixed with the peppermint tea enough) 
  9. Once it has rested enough drink!
  10. Then eat the strawberries because they taste minty and strawberry-y and nice.

Another thing that I've been eating is trail mix. It's basically a mixture of nuts, seeds and dried berries, and the tropical one is even nicer in my opinion - I just give the dried bananas to my sister (if you didn't know - I can't stand bananas). And a little bag of trail mix is only £1 so it's cheap, tasty and good for you.

Off of the topic of food, I've been a bit of a nonce. I was filming a video for YouTube that I was planning to upload today, and I accidentally deleted my main footage and by the time I'd realized what I'd done, it was 11:30 pm and I couldn't be bothered to set up my ghetto tripod (check out my SnapChat story to understand why I didn't want to set it up again) and get dressed into what I was wearing and re-do my make-up etc etc...

So, on Monday I will be filming today's video, because at the moment I'm with family and I'd rather send time with my family rather than filming a YouTube video if I'm 100% honest. 

Comment if you liked the peppermint + strawberry iced tea and if you liked my first YouTube video. 

That's it
