Oooo Minty!

Gossamer jumped at the voice that drifted down from the treetops. She had been so focused on what she was doing she hadn't seen the cat. She gazed up at tree where the cat was lounging. "Making tea!" She glanced back at her sister. "Hey Ari, do you got claws like that, can you climb trees to?" She had to admit the thought made her a bit jealous. Suddenly Ásta was prodding her to continue the lesson.

"Next, take a bone or stick and mash the leaves up a bit to release more oil. Then we'll add about eight ounces of water." Gossamer nodded and picked up one of the bones the fox kept on hand. Turning her head she started mashing the leaves with the flatter side of the bone. Once that was done she picked up Ásta's water skin and tipped her head. Water sloshed out into the bowl, fast at first and Gossamer quickly stopped the flow. She eyed the water level out of the corner of her eye then added a little more til it was roughly the amount of water she'd seen Ásta use during one of their previous lessons.

"Ok, now I'll scoot it next to the fire until it starts to steam." The fox used her paws to scoot the bowl toward the fire.
