Not a fan of warm drinks aside from my morning cup of tea personally but to each their own. I adore cold apple cider. It's the best thing in the world for definitively quenching one's thirst, in my humble opinion.
Ugly but tasty fruit! Those are my favorite fruits. I'm going to be making a hot drink from acorns soon, I'm hoping to write up a thing about it (if you want to make it too!)
if theres a series of steps to finish a thing, well, it's difficult to memorize the steps on their own merit unless you face the consequences of missing a step. u realize "oh that's why i need to backstitch" or w/e. so yea i think mistakes are a great way of lrning
