2 - 3 tsp tea either: Calm Sencha Tea or Love Jasmine and Green Tea by The Tea Cartel
2 - 3 cups filtered boiling water
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten free)
¹⁄₂ - 1 ¹⁄₂ cups assorted cooked green vegetables, such as bok choy and green peas
Salt and pepper to taste

This is a green bok choy. It's easily available in your local supermarket or asian grocery store. When you prepare the Bok Choy, cut off the base leaving 5cm, peel the bottom later just slightly and put into the garden with a good watering in. The plant will re-grow more shoots and leaves you can harvest.
