Tea Time

I'm no coffee drinker.  I'm a mocha drinker.  I prefer expresso and milk and chocolate over a cup of coffee.  I do not drink those regularly either, however I do drink Irish Black tea from Trader Joe's regularly.  Mmmmm, it's so dark and yummy.  I let it steep a long time.  I remember loving tea as a young girl.  My mom would give me some when I was sick.  I would put tons of sugar in it, too.  In college I drank more iced tea with five packs of sugar in it.  I don't know what I was thinking then, way too much.  They called me 5-pack.  Don't worry, I'm down to one teaspoon nowadays =-)

My kids see me drink it every morning.  It wasn't till recently my daughter wanted to try some of my tea.  She did, as I did, when I was younger and drank the tea with a spoon so not to burn her tounge.  When the tea cooled down, I let her finish it. 

This made me smile.  I soon had images of conversations over tea.
