OTA, the drink was very bitter. But, I guess if you leave teas brewing:
long enough, they get bitter too.  But, the flowers and fruit of the tree make up for the bitterness.  And, the bitterness is good for the health,yes?!

What a beautiful tree. Was the drink like a tea? The flowers sort of remind me of Forsythia's. A shrub we have here. They dont get big like trees though.

HOw beautiful. It reminds me of our palo verde trees, yellow against blue
sky, too. But, it is our common desert tree here, so it runs along the roads and up and down the hills and hides all year from view until Spring when it blossoms and the road sides and hills sides and every other tree turns yellow. It has a green trunk, palo verde meaning green stick, in Spanish.

If we could only exchange trees some. I will ask at a nursery, if yours grow here in the desert. I doubt it. Also, it bears no fruit, but when the flowers fall, the city is carpeted in yellow.
