A huge mug.<BR/><BR/>At other times I enjoy Lipton green tea. I went through a bunch of expensive green teas but found the inexpensive Lipton to be just as good and better than some. Stash chai spice black teas is yum, but Yogi DeTox Tea is like delicious dessert to me. Very good and good for you is to steep the peelings from ginger in boiling water. I just leave the peels in, but you can strain them. I leave my tea bags in too!luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-55292003901623638502007-03-11T16:30:00.000-07:002007-03-11T16:30:00.000-07:00I think it's about time I introduce the kids to ho...I think it's about time I introduce the kids to hot tea...we all needs some soothin'....Mona Buonanottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809435868294190789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-54385497828815807002007-03-11T08:54:00.000-07:002007-03-11T08:54:00.000-07:00I always love how the English think they can solve...I always love how the English think they can solve any problem with a "Cuppa"!
