Tea

It's a bright, sunny Wednesday morning and we're on the way up to 62 F today, a big change from the sub-zero temps we had not that long ago.

Warm or cold, though, it's always a good time for tea.  Here's a good recipe for a wonderful tea drink that was taught to me by my wife.

Into a saucepan, pour one cup of liquid, 50% milk and 50% water.  Add two Lipton black tea bags.  Add a tablespoon of sugar.  Add a mid-sized pinch of cardamom, and also the same for ginger powder, and then add a light sprinkling of cinnamon.

Heat this up on medium heat or high heat.  You can bring it to a boil or not.  I like to let it slowly heat up so that it has time to blend all the flavors.  Discard the tea bags and pour it into your mug when it's all finished, and enjoy.

That's it.  It's a wonderful drink.

I love to end the day with this.  It's great if you have a headache or are feeling a little stressed.  It's great for a throat that is a little sore, or to help with a little congestion or cough.  But most of all, it tastes great and is very soothing.

That's the final post for January.  Enjoy the warm day, eat well, and enjoy life.
