Ribi
the night birdA shooting star soaring in the night sky. Until the streak of light bursts overhead: four eyes blinking back. Ribi, the night bird, awake and hungry.
A caffeine-free hibiscus and berry infusion: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, rosehip, apple and sultana. Bright crimson in the cup, sharp and jammy.

How to brew the night bird.
One heaped teaspoon per cup. A full rolling boil; hibiscus and berries need the heat to open up. Steep five to six minutes.
A teaspoon per cup and one extra for the pot. Lid on, let it sit, pour the lot before it stews.
The unhurried way. Let the leaves settle as it cools and sip once the steam softens.
Afterwards, the leaves go to the garden, not the bin.
