ほうじ茶ブーム
2005/06/07 Tue 22:47
只今、我が家では『プチほうじ茶ブーム』が起こっております。普段飲むお茶が決まってるのでもらったお茶っ葉がどんどん溜まってしまって困ってたところ、お茶屋さんからほうじ茶にすればいいと教えてもらい試してみました。
作り方は至極カンタン。フライパンで色が変わるまでひたすら炒るだけ。
途中もうもうと煙が立ってきてちょっと焦げ臭い？くらいまで深炒りする方が香りも味も良いようです。
ちなみに茎茶でやるのが一番おススメ。芽茶を使うとだんだん葉が崩れてきて煎れる時に細かいカスが入ってしまいます。
今の時期は冷やして麦茶変わりに、食後のウーロン茶変わりにと何かと重宝してます。

</a> The Jordan Valley is especially rich in natural water sources. The Palestinian Authority sees the area as the future grain basket for the Palestinian state and an area where they can settle and develop, similar to what has happened on the Jordanian side of the border. But under the temporary Oslo Accords, Israel still controls the water resources of the West Bank and sets the water quotas for the Palestinians through its veto on all new water drilling for Palestinians, and its refusal to approve the reconstruction of wells that have been ruined.

</a> There is a growing body of evidence pointing to stabilisation in the Eurozone. To call it a recovery would be pushing it a bit. Although the most recent GDP figures did show a resumption of growth, and therefore arguably the start of a recovery, it was pretty feeble. And of course it's welcome news that the jobless rate has edged down from its Euro era record. But it's more a cause of wary relief than celebration. It is still a painfully high level of unemployment, acutely so in some countries such as Spain and Greece. Even this gradual stabilisation owes much to the emergency safety net set out last year by the European Central Bank. It does not point to anything like a return to robust economic health.
</a> In the past, migration served to reduce inequality among states by matching workers more efficiently to the country’s best available jobs. The creation of a single automobile plant—Ford’s River Rouge complex, completed in 1928—boosted Michigan’s population by creating more than 100,000 well-paying jobs. (One of those migrants, the future United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther, made a beeline from West Virginia on hearing Ford was paying tool and die makers the equivalent, in 2013 dollars, of $16.50 an hour.) Today, the reverse appears to be happening. While migration goes down, the richest states are getting richer.
