Blooming lotus

Here, Thai iced tea is deconstructed and made into an exotic and refreshing dessert: strong, spicy tea granita—a tad bitter—with super-rich sweet milk. Really simple; really good.

Serves 6

2 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup Thai tea leaves
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup whole milk

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the tea leaves, cover, and let steep for 7 minutes.

Pour the tea through a coffee filter or a sieve lined with a double layer of paper towels. Discard the tea leaves. Stir the sugar into the tea until dissolved. Pour the tea into a shallow pan and put it in the freezer until almost completely frozen, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Use a fork to scrape and break the mixture into shards or crystals. Return the pan to the freezer to freeze completely.

Meanwhile, mix the condensed milk with the whole milk. Chill in the refrigerator.

When the granita is frozen, scrape and toss it one more time with the fork. Keep frozen until serving.

To serve, divide the milk mixture among six glasses and top with the tea granita.

Paint a dark night,

Presumably the cowboy and the weaver girl has embraced each other mutual action respectively.

You listen,

Twitter field autumn insects vacuum tube,

They are in for you as cheerful as a lark;

Thick clouds,

For your shield,

All the noisy bother dust;

The moon, the stars also tactfully escape;

The breeze brushless dc motor,

That is they send you cool.

The world lovers,

In this July 7th night,

But as they happy?

I wish the world tonight no acacia Amethyst earrings.

由於內分泌處於活躍期，容易出現紊亂，所以常常有些人在月經期間皮膚變得油膩、毛孔粗大、發黃等等，但其實只要護膚手法把握得好，就能避免這些壞狀況，讓你告別暗黃。

時段1：生理期前一兩天

皮膚特征：

1、皮脂腺分泌明顯旺盛，導致油脂過多

2、肌膚光澤度下降、失去透明感

保養招數：護膚程序和護膚品要減少一些

皮脂分泌旺盛不但會導致皮脂阻塞毛細孔，同時容易形成麥拉寧色素，使黑斑點大量增加。當你發現經前一兩天油脂分泌突然變得旺盛，那麼你要改變一下自己正在使用的保養品，換上一些有去油作用的，在油脂較多的t字部位可比平時多塗一層平衡油脂分泌的職位精華素。

時段2：生理期中

皮膚特征：

1、敏感性增強，容易長痘痘粉刺

2、臉色暗黃，毫無氣色

保養招數：低刺激護膚品+輕度去角質

經期皮膚的敏感性增強，容易出現過敏反應，所以保養要從減少刺激和降低營養兩個方面著手。應避免使用過多的化妝品，盡量使用不易導致過敏反應的，或平時使用過而無過敏反應的化妝品。這個時期細胞脫落和更新得比平時快，所以要輕度去角質，避免皮膚變得暗黃，用油性較足的洗面奶來清除廢棄角質可降低對皮膚的刺激室內設計。

時段3：生理期結束後7天內

皮膚特征：

1、皮膚開始恢複彈性

2、能夠快速吸收養分

保養招數：抓緊機會深層去黃氣

在經期結束之後的一個星期中，是體內雌性激素分泌旺盛的時期，也是肌膚新陳代謝最快速、吸收養分最好的時候，不妨抓緊這幾天，給肌膚做更深層的養分補給，大膽使用高品質的營養品，如美白面膜、活膚面膜、高機能保濕精華等，美白去黃效果比其他時段更好更明顯，讓肌膚從裏到外透出明亮、白皙，輕松告別肌膚暗黃！
