Think Pink for Spring









"The tea party supposes neither appetite nor thirst,
and has no object but distraction,
no basis but delicate enjoyment."

Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Spring is near!
It's an inspiration to update the mantle
with delicate, pink teapots.
Each teapot holds a memory,
shares a story,
and speaks without words.

Favorite Jam Tea




Sometimes it is fun to vary from the usual routine and try something new. Although I usually take my tea without any sweetener except for sweet leaf stevia, sometimes it is fun to add something else instead. Flavored honey sticks  are delicious added to tea, but they tend not to stick around very long, as they are found by those who live here and are enjoyed just the way they are. But, on most days a jar of jam can be found inside the fridge door. Jam makes a great addition to any cup of tea! It makes a cup of tea so delicious that the amber liquid will slide down your throat with ease! Kids love it too and it makes a fun addition to a children's tea party. Just remember to invite the teddy bears and dolls in the house. 

The recipe is simple and I'll share it here with you:

Jam Tea



1 cup of hot plain brewed tea (I like Darjeeling for this)

1 teaspoon of your favorite jam (try apricot, or grape, or strawberry, or even raspberry jam)


Stir together the hot tea and jam. The jam will melt into the amber liquid and you'll have a sweet treat to enjoy!
