The Girl Who Drank the Moon
by Kelly Barnhill

Luna grew up in the forest with the witch, Xan, but was born in the Protectorate, the town nearby. Antain grew up in the Protectorate, working for the Sisters. There, he learned how to master the fine art of bread-slicing and the finer points of sandwich-making.

Make one of the Sisters’ Sandwiches with Antain.

Then pay a visit to his wife, Ethyne, where she sits and talks with you and makes you some of her famous Loose-Leaf Tea.

Cook

Ethyne’s Loose-Leaf Tea

Complexity: Easy.
Time: 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Loose leaf tea
Mint leaves
Honey

Directions

Boil water in your tea kettle.
While waiting for water to boil, add desired amount of loose leaf tea to your tea infuser. Place the tea infuser inside your teapot or mug.
When the water reaches the desired temperature, pour it over the tea infuser into your mug or teapot. This will allow the water to circulate through the leaves.
Set a timer to know how long to leave the tea leaves in the hot water. Longer times will result in stronger tea. Once the time is up, dunk the infuser a couple of times to circulate the water. Remove the infuser and set aside for a second steeping.
Serve in your favorite mug, and add mint leaves and honey as desired.
