“Tea Celebrations“...With Lemon Please
My mother, lovingly known as Bean or Grandma Bean, was a well known coffee-holic. Her knowledge of coffee was legendary and she was one of those rare people who could take a sip of coffee and tell you it’s country of origin. But, that being said, she enjoyed her tea as well. Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint or Irish Breakfast were her teas of choice. There is something decidedly comforting about a hot cup of tea. A fragrant steaming brew cupped between your hands on a chilly winters day afternoon or shared and enjoyed with a friend over conversation, and healing when you feel under the weather. As the author of this book shares, the making of tea is really a mindfulness practice, a ritual to be savored and mastered, never rushed, the beauty is in the details. So I wasn’t too surprised to find this small charming book amongst Beans cookbook collection, “Tea Celebrations - The Way to Serenity” by Alexandra Stoddard.
