I love a cup of the Earl too. My normal tea is good and strong. It's such a personal thing, tea. Whenever I blog about fruit infusions I get a ton of comments saying they don't like it, but I do. In January. And sometimes during the year, like a good peppermint tea is nice to have for something different. <br />Sounds nice too.<br />Peppermint tea. <br />Peppermint tea. <br />Love saying it :O) <br /><br />That liquorice one would do nothing for me either, I'm just not a fan.

I mull it over and then realize that nobody else in the house would even notice it was gone... so I gleefully toss and try to create a tiny extra space in our cluttered world. I like normal, regular tea with milk. No sugar. I am not a huge fan of herbal or fruity teas, however here's a nice winter treat: make hot chocolate using the powdered type of hot chocolate that you add hot water and some milk to, then put in a mint tea bag for a while. You get a lovely minty hot chocolate. My dad liked his tea "strong enough to stand a spoon up in it". He'd squeeze the tea bag against the side of the pot. (Always made in a pot, not just in a cup). And it HAD to be in a cup and saucer. Mugs were for coffee. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-43769385508415434912016-04-15T19:42:45.626+01:002016-04-15T19:42:45.626+01:00No ED's here today I don't think apart fro...No ED's here today I don't think apart from whether to buy my brother a 'standard' birthday card or a cheeky/insulting one. I went for the latter. I absolutely love licorice. If I buy a bag of pontefract cakes they can be gone in a day. You've got quite a collection going on there. Makes my two boxes look a bit paltry. Might have to remedy that tomorrow if I go shopping. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.com
