A Bevy Of Beverages.

 The magic of tea.

Even the ritual of making a cup aids to a feeling of contentment. Getting the perfect mixture or rather the perfect colour is close to an art form. Black tea with milk needs to be steeped just right in order for a perfect taste to mingle with the milk. Through trial and error we have discovered the best tasting vegan milk alternative and I for one can't taste the difference anymore.

But there are more tea choices than black one. At the moment I love all manner of herbal teas along the odd fruity one. Marjoram, chamomile, ginger, green  and rooibos are my staples and often I run out of time to fit them all into a day not to mention which to drink when. All taste great and make great inroads into the oft mentioned eight glasses of water per day. 

Bob, now that harvest is over is spending more time at home and both of us drink tea together. Whenever I switch the kettle on, I automatically ask him if he would like a cup and most often he does. Both of us have been drinking oodles of mugs of tea lately, and often Bob makes himself an additional cup of ginger tea ( he cuts fresh ginger into little slices and adds a dash of fresh lemon juice ) in between. Each of us drink at least six big mugs a day.

Yes, we are extra healthy at the moment and it feels good to drink such a variety of tea. Both of our skins are blooming and blossoming! The main benefit of drinking so much tea is that one doesn't even think of venturing into the less healthy option like sodas or fruit juices. At least I like to think so and anyway, the various teas taste much nicer than boring old sodas.

Oh, and all of the teas  are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and goodness which can only but help in these infectious times.
