Hi HB
ReplyDeleteThis post was just my cup of tea. We Brits have tea for blood. I confess I have never used it in cooking. So I learned something new. But in typically English fashion we have always thought a cup of tea is a cure for anything that ails you, from headaches to heart-aches to stress.
Don't get up to any mischief with Harvey.
Luv you, hugs,

Butterfly,
ReplyDeleteTea is good for you , some have medical purposes .
I guess each culture have their remedies , Italians think wine is the remedy for most things . I can assure you wine is good for the heart , a small glass each day .
Maybe that's why the thugs that the Brits threw out dump the tea in the harbor . (laughing my butt off ) Really , most Americans like tea , hot are cold .
It would not be the same if not for Harvey , I can out run him , boy do we have lots of fun , maybe I will tell you about them when you are feeling better .
Hugs and love
