Tea

Tea - One of my weaknesses (and as a consequence a bad habit too) is craving for good food and having large portions of it. I start my day with a cup of strong tea made with lil cream and a lot of sugar. My taste buds are averse to tea that doesn’t smell good. I must admit that the regular leaf tea available in India doesn’t taste great, so what we usually do is mix about 50 grams of 5 popular brands. It has been a while since I did this. When I woke up to the usual Monday morning blues today morning and walked to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, my eyes fell on this tiny wooden box sitting on the top of a corner counter. I don’t know how my eyes missed it all these months. As I slid the lid of the wooden box, I could smell the aroma of strawberry.
We had bought this box of Strawberry tea from Sri Lanka. I added a teaspoon of Mlesna flavored tea to boiling water, brewed it for 2-3 mins, added a dash of sugar to it and drank in peace – there’s something about it. Hmm..what can a better start to a Monday.
