ProfCrash, could you tell me where you buy your Rooibos teas?

Honeybush chocolate cake in mu cup. It goes well with a piece of delicious whole-weat gingerbread!

Watch out for higher forms of assimilation. The dangerous ones are astra, ProfCrash and Stitchawl (in alphabetic order). Just to mention the professional.

I would be prepared to answer questions like:
milk and sugar?
why lipton?
scented?
Oh boy - lost another one.

Hi kittyppg! Welcome to the 'What's in Your Cup' forum.

I'm very glad to see that you are a tea drinker.

Do not adjust your TV. We are taking over programing during this emergency.

We are a loose affiliation of tea drinkers here, with kind hearts. With this in mind, may I ask if you are drinking that Lipton tea in commercially produced tea bags?

If so... STOP RIGHT NOW AND LISTEN UP!!!

There is better tea on your shelf. You just don't know it yet. We will guide you through the mysteries of teaism. Convicts drink Lipton tea in tea bags. Mentally deranged people drink Lipton tea in tea bags. People who knock down little old ladies trying to cross streets drink Lipton tea in tea bags.

Don't despair. We are here to help you though this crisis. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

For now, that's all I'll say. I don't want to induce too much trauma on first contact. Be ready with your shopping list and a couple of #2 pencils so when Astra or ProfCrash show up, you can begin to jot down notes. Soon everything will be much better.

We now return control of your TV to you... but the emergency is still in effect until changes have been made...

If Kitty wasn't scared before, I bet she is now!

Right now: third coffee of the day. Still haven't woken up properly ... at 2PM ...
Watch admitting to those acts of defiance, ProfCrash gets a little....

I don't think it makes much difference, y'all have the tea evangelism thing going good in here LOL. We've got styles for all sorts of holdouts. We either scare them to death or get them with temptation.

I told you she gets passionate about her tea. Besides, she doesn't have kids yet so she can have all the cool toys!

Oh, and I"m drinking the second diet dr pepper of the day.

One and a half litres of water. One and a half kilos of sugar. Mix and heat until the sugar is dissolved, allow to cool.

Thinly slice three lemons. Place in suitable container along with 25 elderflowers and 50g of Citric Acid crystals. Pour the sugar syrup over the other ingredients, cover, and allow to stand for 24 hours in a cool place. Strain through a suitable cloth strainer and bottle into clean, sterilized bottles. Keeps for four to six weeks in a fridge. Makes about 3 litres. Dilute to taste, but probably about 8 to 1, with cold still or sparkling water.

My recipe says that with frozen flowers, just add them to the syrup when it's hot, and then pour syrup and flowers over the rest of the ingredients once cooled down a bit.

(In imperial measures: 3.5lb sugar, 2.5 UK pints (50 fl.oz.) water, 2oz citric acid., makes about 5 UK pints (100 fl. oz.) )

In fact, you can see a video of my son helping me make it...
What a great video! It makes me think I need to try and make some of that. (Wait... do we have elderflowers here in the States?) And such a handsome and well-spoken young man you've raised there.

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.

Country roads, take me home,
To the place, I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama.
Take me home, country roads.

Good morning everyone... although it's almost noon. I slept in today trying to get rid of this cold. It's not working. I'm still doing a box of tissues a day... My nose is going to fall off!

I brewed up a strong mug of China Black tea from McNultey's Tea & Coffee in NY. This is one really powerful drink! I can actually taste it over the stuffed up nose!

I can't help but notice that you all scared her (kittyppg) away Hey kitty, there are also many normal people drinking other beverage!

Good luck with that.

You have your work cut out convincing me to get back into tea drinking (apart from the beloved Rooibos, which is steaming gently beside me as I type).

It helps. Powerful stuff.



Good morning!
It is a wonderful rainy and windy Saturday morning. The first of the 3 this oolong long weekend I mean

Fortnum and Mason's Assam Hattialli FTGFOP chases off chill and I am ready for my weekend breakfast. Either cottage cheese or curd cheese with blueberries, followed by 2 delicious palmiers
