RE: Magic Tea! (...at least what’s worked for me!)
Nice! Davis and I may have to try this as well... Not sure about the cayenne or ACV, but I'll at least try it! ;) I use ACV to rinse my hair a lot, and heard that it's great for heart burn but I just can't get it down...
Girl, you can drink booze with the best of em. Surely you can do some ACV shots!! Lmao!!
But seriously, if you can’t get over the taste of ACV (I actually grew to really actually like it), what I would do as I was acquiring taste was to just pour 1.5 oz (literally a shot) into a shot glass and just knock er down. It’s quick and gets it into your system. I think you’d be pleased with the results in a lot of ways. You can make the tea without the ACV, but it’s not going to have as many of the goodies in there for ya. I’m all about hacking it all together into one drink. Lmao.
Hehe! Well ACV is definitely one that makes me gag... But I know that I could benefit from all the things you listed, especially with my voice. If I don't work my chords out enough before practice, my throat is sore from the gritty screaming I do, and I know this would help out so much. Maybe if I put the ACV in the tide pod shots... BWAHAHAHA!!!!
Keep the Tide Pods out of this! LMAO!!!
But for real, I think this tea would soothe your cords and throat in a big way. Especially with smoking and stuff...it also helps with general inflammation, so adding this to the “morning of” a show (I do not recommend drinking this particular mixture during a show...I think the cayenne is an irritant during a performance.) However, I have drank what they call “sipping vinegar” on stage and find the burn of that to be incredibly soothing.
Also, if you did your shot before rehearsal or a show, that would also be a good thing, as well. I think it’s a great pep booster on its own and find my cords aren’t as spent after the show...considering how much grit you put into your vocal style, I can’t imagine how your cords/throat must feel the next day or two sometimes. Probably like a super tight butthole...lmao that’s the best way I can explain how my throat feels on those days. Like a butthole. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA love you, @rockchickjen
HAHAHA!!! It's true though... that's exactly how it feels! ;) As long as I don't over do it, they're usually fine but sometimes I go a little too hard... What is "sipping vinegar"? I've never heard of that before...
You can buy super expensive stuff that is basically apple cider vinegar in apple juice or vinegar with honey in green tea. I hack it for way cheaper by buying the off-brand Arizona Green Tea and mixing my 1.5 oz shot into about a 20 oz tumbler and just sip on it throughout the set.
