Mystic Mugs: A Whimsical Recipe to Reflect on Your Past, Present & Future”

For the Cup of the Present:

1 cup matcha or green tea

1 tsp lemon juice

A few mint leaves

Optional: edible flower for garnish

For each cup:

Combine the tea with its unique add-ins.

Stir gently and let the aroma rise before sipping.

Serve each in a different cup or mug that visually contrasts to create a thematic experience (e.g., vintage, modern, and futuristic designs).

Arrange the three cups in front of you.

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and intuitively choose one to sip first.

Interpret:

First cup = The Past: What memory or emotion does the taste evoke?

Second cup = The Present: How does it reflect your current state or mood?

Third cup = The Future: What does it inspire or foreshadow?

Serving and Storage Tips:

These teas are best served warm and fresh, but you can make a batch of each and store them in glass jars in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before use.

Serve with a small journal or notepad nearby for guests to jot down insights.
