Time for more lava stone!
The Kitchen Imp
I bought Jim some spices and tea! The Kitchen Imp on Etsy is a place for tasty spices, salts and teas!
The Harissa is a Moroccan spice that includes aleppo pepper, ginger, paprika, cumin, caraway and cayenne. Sure to get the creative juices flowing in the kitchen! We have already added some to a veggie soup and it was fantastic. A little bit of this spice goes a long way!
The Chai Tea is made up of Assam tea, Ceylon tea, black tea, organic cardamom, organic black pepper, organic cloves and organic crystallized ginger.
The Genmaicha green tea includes organic green tea and organic toasted rice. Doesn't this look amazing? It tastes just like the real deal you get in a Japanese restaurant! I guess their secret ingredient is the rice.

| Pitta Tea |
This is intriguing....chile sugar! It comes with a recipe for hot-sweet brownies. I bet this is a feast for the taste buds!

How about a Moroccan rub for meats or fish? You all know I don't eat meat but used to flavor veggies sounds delicious.
