An Art of Taste - CoffTea

What is CoffTea? – It is a coffee and tea drink.

One mistake in the morning; you had better be awake before you drink your coffee or tea. Or you will have CoffTea. It happened when I made this mistake while half asleep. I accidentally poured a teaspoon of instant coffee into my already brewed hot tea without thinking.

I looked at it and muttered ugh. But, I did not want to waste it so I decided to add sugar and try it out. It took away the bitterness of the coffee and still had the mildness of the tea. You would have to acquire a taste for it. That is my opinion though.

It might taste better if you mix it with your favorite flavored coffee and regular tea mix. Or maybe it won’t you can decide for yourself.

Here are some small tips I found about making a cup of CoffTea at Wikia.com

There is actually a drink called Yuan Yang in the Hong Kong area. They mix milk tea and coffee together for this unique drink. I found this on Wikipedia.

This drink must be full of anti-oxidants since both coffee and tea both have these in them. But, before drinking for these benefits make sure that it is good for you to drink on a regular basis and see what your physician says on this matter.*

Go try it yourself as an experiment and see what you think. Have fun exploring the art of new ways to make and drink coffee and tea.

*For added information about coffee for health, whether it is good or bad go to Mayo Clinic site to see what Dr. Donald Hensrud, M.D., a Mayo Clinic preventive medicine specialist has to say.

What Is It? Macro Photography Art

What is this?

Macro art is something I really get enjoyment out of doing.  Here is a close up of a picture I shot one day, trying to find a macro object to photograph.  The fun with macro and other close up photography is that you can take something and make it appear to be something that it is not. As I share these photos, I have so much fun seeing the reaction of others when they find out what the object really is.

What do you think the above close up photograph is?  You might be surprised when you find out what it actually is in reality.  It reminds me of modern art that you see today.  Go ahead and try guessing.  Please, let me know by your comments what you think this photo is.  I would love to hear your responses. I will post the results at the end of next week.  

Have fun guessing what my photos is and see you next time. I will post results next Saturday. *

Artistry Boulevard

What is Artistry Boulevard?

Welcome to the many boulevards of the arts.   Travel these boulevards that branch off to the many cities of creativity as I adventure down the traveled path and branches of Artistry Boulevard.  

What direction you wander on these boulevards of the artistic world begins with an inspiration, an idea, and a dream.   Traveling on this boulevard you may meet more than you imagined. Look a little closer and you might find a new way to create, a new way to express, or an adventure that becomes a work of a new invention.

This is my boulevard to share, to grow, to learn, and create.  Follow and join me on a quest of Artistry Boulevard.
