What is in your cup?

[astra]

A mug of Lapacho.

(I caught a cold from DH, she is almost over by now, I only start)

[Iridal]

Uh oh. I woke up not feeling very well, but I thought it was because I woke up too late. But the headache got worse and the glands in my neck are definitely swollen ... I can't get sick during my holiday That's just too unfair

Maybe some of that healthy aloë vera tea will help? Even it doesn't help, it's definitely tasty.

[astra]

Makes two of us.
Sore throat...another mug of Rooibos.

[CWatkinsNash]

I'm also not feeling well. In my case, I think it's the heat. Too much time outside yesterday.

[ProfCrash]

Pot two of Rooibos Jungle Fire

[ProfCrash]

Working on pot two of Kabusecha. I am thinking of starting a pot of Sencha Extra Fine.

[beppe]

mint cordial with sparkling water

[CWatkinsNash]

Dr. Pepper on ice. I love me some Dr. Pepper. I rarely buy it because I tend to guzzle it, but yesterday I splurged and bought a case during my bi-weekly beverage restocking.

[Stitchawl]

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Wednesday! Midweek and slow to get going. Need something powerful... double shot of Keemun to get me going today.

I have two large pots of it growing on the veranda. With my lifestyle, I use its skin-healing properties often, cutting of thick leaves so each application is fresh.

Yeah! I heard that they sometimes cut it with heroin or cocaine so they can make it divide up into more packets!

Do you remember when Dr. Pepper wasn't sold above the Mason-Dixon Line. My friend used to bring it up from Arkansas when he'd go home to visit. It was the only way I ever got to taste it when I was a teenager. These days I guess it's even sold in other countries.

No, I don't, but that may not be a matter of age so much as the fact that I grew up ON the Mason-Dixon line, so we shopped in both states when I was a kid. Check out Delta, Pennsylvania on Google Maps - that's where I mostly grew up. My parents moved back and forth across the line a few times (Whiteford & Pylesville, Maryland), and I don't think there was ever a time when both of my parents' cars (and later, mine) were all registered in the same state at the same time.

Fortunately, my grandparents were in one spot in Delta, and I was with them most of the time until they passed away.

You were correct.
Tasting it only made you 'think' it was good. That's called 'Remote Brainwashing.' WPP Western Peer Pressure. The Brits tried that on us Colonials in the 1750's but we fought it off.
It was the French who did it to your country.

I think Vietnamese milk coffee taste great. Then again, our tastes differ. I think the French had their influence on our way of drink coffee.

but hey, I do not think tea + milk is good, but coffee with cream is awesome. I don't think the French had anything to do with this (this = coffee + whipped cream) because it just appeared in VN recently.

oh, and I think the idea of powdered milk in coffee is unimaginable (not that I never tried). if it has to have milk in it, then steamed milk is the choice.

nah, you should have ginger tea

cold water in the mug, hopefully it'll help with my sleepy head.

Homemade latte macchiato. Me and mum are going to visit my grandmother today First I'm going to take mum to her doctor's appointment (she still can't drive because of the operation she had) and then we're going to drive another 50km to get my grandmother's house. I haven't seen her (grandmother, not mum) since Christmas!

It must be good if the knowledge of its healing effects by applying the fresh cuts or its juice to open wounds spans continents.

Get yourself a frother for goodness sake!



Cuppa #3
Assam Mangalam.
Sore throat, woke up at 05.30 and made the first cuppa for today and the last of Fortnum and Mason's Assam Hattialli FTGFOP.
I think the next one is going to be Assam Doomur Dulling TGFOP from the same gang.
