Maple sap tea

This morning I had the best tea ever. I worked on a computer for a friend helping her with some Linux issues and she fed me the most amazing tea so far.

The Manitoba Maple (box elder) trees produce a big character syrup for those that care to gather and boil down the sap. There is quite a celebration of this local flavour in St. Pierre just north of us.

I did this one year and the yield was about 50:1. Life is short.

Humus made with apple cider vinegar and some fresh, dense whole grain bread for lunch and the sunshine seemed a perfect reflection of the day.
