I am among those who have asked which tea(s) you most enjoy and appreciate the thoughtful answer. I will continue to enjoy the very restful images of tea y’all include with your blog posts and add a gentle scent with my imagination.

Thank you!

I echo the request for a way to highlight from whence each recipe originated be it by character, book, or frINNday panel review

I increase the amount of tea I brew and the amount of sugar/ non dairy milk so it isn’t watered down when I ice it after stirring together hot.

I know this one! (excited waving)
A “stick of butter” = a half of a cup [or about 113 grams says the internet]
Heavy cream is 36% milkfat; tbh I usually use heavy whipping cream and don’t have issues.

May I recommend the following? I shop at English Tea Store online, but there other suppliers I am sure. I always buy the 16 oz bags, I go through a LOT of tea, just like you.

Scottish Breakfast is quite strong. I found it when I was travelling in Scotland – where I would Love to return… if you like Scotch, you might like this. I am a great lover of good scotch!

Lapsang Souchang – very smoky. An aquired taste, but if you like smoky, you might like it.

Back around 1999 my roommate’s older sister was dating a Russian American guy whose Russian grandmother gifted everyone mason jars of homemade “Russian tea.” It was an obvious mix with tasty spices in it, including cinnamon and possibly star anise? Not as sure about the latter. Sadly, I don’t remember much else. It was the first tea I ever enjoyed until I encountered Indian chai tea some seven years later. Would you have any idea what this might have been? I know it’s a huge area, and I have no idea where they were from. Just thought I’d try.
