▲ 10 r/tea

Lately I've been having 500ml pots of tea with just 3.5g of tieguanyin, brewed with water just off the boil for 1.5min. I didn't realise but I think this is a super tiny amount of tea for the amount of water? I tried following instructions on a new packet which suggested 8g per 150ml water and found it absolutely awful - musty, bitter, off notes. Went back to my 3.5g/500ml with that same tea and it was lovely and delicate and with all the different flavours coming through.

How do you approach western style brewing for oolongs? Do I just not have the palate for stronger brews yet? Am I missing out by using smaller amounts of tea? I've only just started exploring tea last year and would love to hear what people in the community do!

After seeing these in this sub I was motivated to try them. So incredibly good with the best texture I've had so far in a gluten free enriched dough. Chewy and moist and soft just like the real thing.

My dough was a little soft but it was definitely doable to get these into rolls.

I made a double batch and found i needed like 3x the amount of filling rather than 2x, but 2x the amount of cream cheese frosting was a bit too much.

Rolls pictured without frosting here but definitely felt that the frosting was needed to pull all the flavors together. I would love to try these again and maybe tweak to see if I could get them just as yummy without frosting as I prefer an unfrosted cinnamon roll.

I ended up making the dough and shaping them into rolls, then freezing, and defrosting them overnight in the fridge on the evening before baking. They took about 2.5 hours to complete proofing at room temp before I baked them.

Katarina Cermelj is truly such a genius and a hero for giving us so many outstanding recipes!!!

▲ 1 r/babywearing

Hello! My drooly 5mo has had an inflamed/fungal neck and jaw rash which has just started to clear up after using antifungal+hydrocortisone and barrier cream for two weeks, now switching to a plain antifungal and alternating zinc oxide cream and vaseline. I have been avoiding doing much babywearing during that time as the rash seemed to get worse with heat/friction/layers. I believe the rash was actually triggered by babywearing on a hot day and not changing her bib when it needed to be changed.

I am carefully starting to babywear again but noticed it seems to give her red spotty patches on her lower cheeks, the neck rash itself seems okay since she holds her neck up while in the carrier.

Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if once she's able to do back carry, the positioning might exacerbate the rash less than front carry?
