“Hey Angrboda, what’s in your cup?”
Well, hot cocoa actually…
This is a backlog from this morning. This is what I chose to have in my travel cup for the morning trek to work through unholy amounts of snow. Or okay, maybe just around 20 cm where I live, but it’s a WHOLE LOT MORE than what we’re used to seeing in November. Which is nothing.
Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary on the tea choice, except for the fact that I got some involuntary experimentation out of it this morning.
At first I thought my travel cup was somehow mysteriously broken. But then I realised that it was more likely that I had made tea as usual this morning. Put the kettle on while brushing my teeth and then poured it on the leaves when I was finished with that. Only I forgot to actually turn the kettle on.
Which means I got to try this little number cold-brewed this morning. It was okay, I guess. But the thing is I’m not really an iced tea sort of person. Especially not when I’m waiting 25 minutes for the train in ankle deep snow.

I’ve done that before. It’s very sad. And I fully admit that I had to pull out a ruler to see how much 20 cm is (yup, I’m still on inches). It’s the entire ruler. That’s a lot of snow for November. Or anytime, really.
Wow, that is alot of snow for anytime all at once. I’m surprised we haven’t seen our first snow yet in Illinois.
Jaime, it’s the first time for me, and at first I even though that it was SO COLD that the 15 minutes walk to the train station had cooled my tea completely. I’m glad that wasn’t the case.
Meghann, in Denmark we have the Gulf Stream coming up fairly close to our west coast and we’ve got an awful lot of coast line so the climate is usually relatively mild in winter compared to our other Scandinavian neighbours. If you want snow, you can have some of mine. It’s hellishly slippery out there.
