Nothing like the power going out when you aren’t feeling well! I’m whining…we were only down a couple of hours; a fleet of five power trucks trolled our block till they got us up and running again. Could’ve been worse.

Based on past Midwest ice-storm experiences, a couple of winters ago, hubby invested in a solar powered/AC chargeable battery gizmo that is about the size of two car batteries and can run several small items for 10-12 hours. So I could still plug my Hot Shot in for a warm cuppa while we were cold and dark.

This was the warmest no-fuss selection within easy reach. I’ve never decided whether it tastes more like orange, tangerine, or grapefruit, but the fruit is overshadowed by lovely, spicy, warming ginger that is like liquid gold on a raw throat.

I stumbled on to this tea by accident at the Tuesday Morning store, and haven’t seen it elsewhere locally. That’s distressing, since I’m down to my last half dozen sachets. (Still available online, but sometimes I just want to go get something.) Recommended. Grab some for cold and flu season.

Glad you had a satisfying brew to soothe the stress of illness and power outage.

Even short power outages feel like they last forever! I’m glad you had a good tea to tide you over.

It is quite common here, so if you ran out and won’t see it anywhere near you and you won’t like the online order; here I am :)

I bought a big generator after the dorachio took our power out for a week. At least you had a way to brew.
