Hot Tea Time

I only drink hot tea during the winter. Since we are having a little drop in the thermometer this week at night, I have been brewing myself a cup of hot tea. This is needed for warming up my insides. The pellet heater is still down. We are waiting on the new door seal to come in since the size in the manual that is stated is too big and the door won't shut, we can't exactly use the heater. My solution is to brew a cup of hot tea. It really helps. The new fiberglass seal will come in after we leave on our trip so it will just have to wait. In the meantime,, I'm hoping for warmth in December! This is one of my favorite tea cups! My hubby actually picked them out and we have a set of four of those. Mr. rooster rules! Do you have a favorite cup for hot tea? © 2020 Karen Gros, All rights reserved

Nothing like hot tea. I usually use the cups that come with my china set, but I do use a special tea cup I bought in Chinatown in Shanghai.

I think I would be more into hot tea if my mother would have like it. I never even tried hot tea until my early 20's. I really enjoy it now.

@DianneN Oh my mom always bought Lipton and made iced tea. We never had hot tea.

@kareng I only had Lipton or Tetley tea when I was young and sick, thanks to my mother. Now I won’t touch it.

Coffee is my favorite!! I have been trying to drink more hot tea though to get away from some of the caffiene. I guess I'm okay since I gave up soft drinks.

@kareng We drink three cups of coffee a day, it's not a big problem from the caffeine. usually people who drink tea drink more than 3 cups, so finally they end up with the same amount of caffeine. I never liked soft drinks, during the day I drink water.

I've stopped by to share a cup of virtual got tea with you today while I'm here visiting. Maybe I'll have some of my own yes this evening if I can get myself to drink at least a bottle of water this afternoon. I started my day with two cups of coffee but I do have a lot of tea too begin working on before it gets even older yet. I have about for favorite cups I use but none of them are matching other than that they are all larger sized. Did it warm up for you last month?

December was much milder than January has been. It's a cold one! I'll be glad when Spring and Summer roll on around! I'm not a winter person at all!

Nice cup. I only drink hot tea in winter too. I've been having a few cups lately. I hope that seal comes in soon.

I'm about ready to go get my late coffee and then if I'm cold later it will be tea. Yes, the seal came in but was wrong size even though it was the size specified. So he ordered another one that was too big but he was able to cut it down and it worked. That was a major pain to start the winter with.

@kareng I'm sorry the seal was the wrong size and glad you got one you could cut down and work with. Good to see you here.

I still have my couple of favorites that I had at the office! One had a spinner on it that landed on cute sayings like; "Take a long lunch," "It's break time!" "Leave early today!" I got a lot of comments on that one at work all the time. LOL.

I've never tried it with cream. I know the English folks like it with cream. Maybe one day I'll give it a shot!

I have a favourite mug. A cup is too small. I need larger dosage I used to use a plain black mug. Now it's a free mug with cartoon face on it. I got it as a free gift for purchasing toothpaste.

I have more cups than I need--but I have a couple "favorites"--one cute one with a bear on it and another slightly larger one with a covered bridge on it.

I guess my favorite is my Marvin the Martian mug. It is hot tea time! I love cinnamon tea and Bigelow vanilla caramel tea, and chocolate mint herbal tea for the evening (so the caffeine doesn’t keep me awake).

Mine is also caffeine free so I don't stay up all night long. I have felt pretty good today and got a good bit of things done on my list! Yay!

Only iced tea in the summer. Drinking hot tea would just make me hot.
