How to stay up late without getting the jitters:
- Lemon grass tea with Indian black tea and corn flowers; brewed stiff, and mixed with cool water.
- One large glass of cold Coke.
- Huge jug of very cold water.
- Red licorice.
- Bag of salted almonds.
This little troop relief package has been saving me the last while, since the tot refuses to sleep before 10pm, leaving me up writing that much later. The perfect balance of salt and sweet, and refreshing and strong... without the paranoia that comes with coffee.
Oh, and make sure you decant the treats into bowls early on, so as to avoid bag-crinkle unpleasantness, such as waking a curious toddler who is wondering what mum is up to.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
