Today is International Tea Day, definitely a day that I can appreciate. I love tea. I brew a pot of tea every morning in my Mr. Coffee (shhh, don't tell the Mr. Coffee people). I have been told many times by doctors and my dentist that tea is good for me, and I believe it, but, actually, I drink it because I like it. When I was a child we were never allowed to drink coffee (not good for children), which was ok with me. Mom's coffee smelled wonderful but was strong enough to strip nail polish. On the other hand she considered tea perfectly ok for kids, with plenty of milk and sugar of course. It was our usual breakfast drink. Happily, I've been able to carry on the tradition with my grandchildren who, even in their teen years, ask for hot tea when they come to visit. Australia, New Zealand, England and Scotland are high on my list of favorite countries to visit because they always have brewed tea available in restaurants and, in the evenings, in most hotels. Always with milk of course, not cream. Cream tastes great in coffee, but not, in my opinion, in tea; milk is better in tea. Happily, the British agree with me.
