Re: Green tea too yin?
Hi again,
Re-reading your response to me, I'm thinking 1/3 cup sounds more reasonable, but be flexible - I have no idea what your condition is, or how active you are or any of the other factors that counselors look at when they make their recommendations - in any case, that's UNCOOKED. Also, sometimes when I cook a bigger amount, some of it is sometimes used for dessert, like in rice pudding.
As far as my knowledge of aluminum, it's pretty frowned upon by the health world, but my thoughts are is it inside touching the food, or outside of the kettle. Different materials are also categorized in yin/yang ways so when you understand that, you take that into consideration - one way is not always a good way, depends again on lots of factors. So stainless steel is more yin than cast iron, so would be a better choice for the summer. Glass also is more conducive to summer weather.
Also as you eat more and more mb foods, you may find that you don't need to drink as much as you used to. Go by how thirsty you feel, not by any rules that you may have heard.
I get the image of San Diego as a great place to find other mb people. Have you tried? I remember ages ago reading some article in Macrobiotics Today and remember the author was from San Diego - it's always wonderful to learn by being with other people also practicing this way of life.
