Backlog: I made this extra strong a morning or so ago. nearly 2 tsp. to 10 oz. water (vs. the directions of 1 tsp. to 6-8oz. water) It brought the vanilla out more, and really thickened the texture to how I like my tea (and of course, milk helped with this).

We’re getting to the point in the year that I somehow always forget about until it comes back – cold mornings not just in feel but in sound. The air is different and when there is a breeze it instinctively makes me want to curl up under blankets. And it’s a perk of night shift I’d forgotten, but: I can do this! I can have slow winter mornings.

I plan on enjoying each one of them, too.

Bio

My tea habits:

*I am an unashamed Lipton iced-tea drinker (mass quantities, year round).
*I like hot teas but only in cold weather (and occasionally late summer nights or mornings).
*I love Japanese greens (the more seaweed-y the better) and good strong malty black teas.
*I do NOT love smoke in any form.
*Vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon anything will usually pique my interest.
*I’m working on pu-erh but it’s definitely going to take some time to grow on me.
