To clear my head, think straight, be creative, or lift my mood, I brew a pot of black loose leaf tea (Earl Gray is nice - bergamot) with a sprig or two of fresh rosemary and/or lavender. Of course dried herbs would be ok but there's something about the fresh green herb plucked from my garden (I live in a Mediterranean climate zone) that makes the tea delicious. I'll bet the anti-oxidants are really good for you, too.
Traditional herbals think rosemary and lavender are good for about six dozen things that might ail you. They are also mood-lifters and supposed to be good for mental, verbal and creative work.
Oh yes and honey is so much better than white sugar in this concoction. It has various properties that are supposed to be healthy for you but I don't know what they are exactly.

I've also read that honey is the only natural food that does not rot. Don't know if that's correct or not. Dee Dee

I am always very skeptical about this type of information since they provide no sources for their information. Anyone seen any scientific testing on the subject.?

There was (supposedly) a study done on osteoporosis of the Masai tribe. They probably only ate honey. But maybe someone snuck a sugar cube in there somewhere, I don't know.
Maybe there was some fresh honey in King Tut's tomb? Got me. Dee Dee

Honey will keep indefinitely as long as it is sealed from contact with air. If it is in an open container, it will absorb moisture from the air. When the water content reaches a critical value (17%, if I recall correctly), yeast can start growing in the honey.
