When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
That was at least a couple of years ago. I've learned a lot since then, and one of the things I learned was to start the day with a good tasting tea! So this morning it will be Taylors of Harrogate's 'English Breakfast Tea!' I was having trouble deciding between it and their 'Yorkshire' tea...
It's funny how one company can make such different tasting teas. I really like 'Yorkshire' tea and can't stand 'Yorkshire Gold.' I mean REALLY can't stand it!
.But Astra loves 'Yorkshire Gold!' That's 'supposed to be' better tasting than the plain Jane Yorkshire, but to my taste, isn't even close. Yet both are blended by Taylors of Harrogate, one of the UK's oldest tea companies. Probably just a very slight difference in the blends, but it's enough to change the way I react to it. I guess this is why people bet on so many different horses in one race.
Along with the tea this morning... some Norwegian 'crisp bread' loaded with freshly made humus! Now THAT will wake me up!

Shel, you can find all the flavorings you would ever imagine in your local liquor store. Non-alchoholic, but usually sweetened, made for mixing into various cocktails.

I'm home sick today myself so am probably going to make a cream cheese bagel and a cup of tea and head for the couch shortly.

Perhaps you should fill your cup with chicken soup instead!

Will you keep a peppermint plant in your garden this Spring? I keep one growing as a cooking herb, but never make teas from it.
Time to make a second cup. No more re-steeping experiments for me. I'll use a fresh load of leaves from the same tin!
