Tea

I have become a tea drinker.  Socially it is more supported than hot chocolate and I began a process to phase-in tea.
I began with Green tea, known for it's health-inducing properties.  This I drowned in milk and four spoons of sugar. (To be fair they were tiny South African teaspoons.)  I also steep it eternally, so it no longer looks like dyed water.

Next I tried Peppermint tea, purported by some to clear the skin...I even brewed a huge batch and made iced tea, sweetened with honey, sans milk.
Now I have come to really enjoy a hot cup of tea at lunch.  The weather being what it is, I can relax and have a cup sitting around, which I rewarm as necessary since the tea bag is a happy guest of my cup.  I am still generous with the honey, and if attempting to drink immediately I add a single ice cube to cool to drinking temp.  I always use my tea bag twice.

Now I can finally be considered an adult!  I had Good Earth tea over Christmas and it was very tasty!  A friend also shared a jasmine green tea with me, which was delightful as well.

Here's to tea and to personal growth, here here!
