Things that make me happy, #2
Things that make me happy: tea. I'm just plain addicted. Sometimes I think I've burned half the taste buds off my tongue and I really just crave something hot but I really want tea. Coffee doesn't do it. But I don't think I'm a terrible snob about tea. Red Rose and Lipton are fine. Some of the restaurant brands are pretty vile.
I really need to drink some different kinds. And I really, really need to get rid of some of the old stuff. Properly stored tea lasts a long time but I have some that's definitely past its prime.
Good things about tea: It's hot. When it's finished steeping it's still plenty hot. I frequently put it in a thermos and it's great to start with something really hot. And I don't mind reheating it. I don't think that hurts it. And obviously I like the flavor of tea. I generally drink it plain.
It's pretty lame when you're resolving to experiment more with your daily beverage. I live in a very deep rut.
Once in awhile I do add some dried orange peel or lemon peel to my tea. And once in awhile I'll drink mint tea or tea with a fruit flavor. I had some black cherry one time that was great. But I get around to that stuff about once a year. Must experiment more.
