This is very nice! It makes me smile.
I like your idea of having one tea bag and just add hot water through the day. I will try this and i think it will be fine as i usually add milk to my tea.

Oh you drink tea the English fashion. I drink herb tea without adding anything to it.

This is much better but even in Egypt, just in the morning we used to have our tea with milk. I love minted tea too!

My mom and I do the same thing with tea bags – keep pouring hot water on it. 😄

I agree with you 100%. Don’t like cold and can’t stand winter. Now that I’m older cold freezing temps are bad for my painful arthritic joints. Also the skin actually comes off my arms and legs in winter. I get horrible skin rashes. Until I discovered Coconut Oil a few years ago my hair would fall out and break off. Summer is my best season. My skin heals and my hair grows. My African ancestry loathes icy cold freezing winter weather.

Yes, even my daughter uses coconut oil for her stretch mark right now for her pregnancy. My husband put coconut oil on his super dry skin feet, wrap the feet with plastic bags to let the oil soaked in. My skull is itchy also, I used to rub the “seven seeds oil” on my skull, cover it with shower hat to go to a stream room at the gym or just during regular shower. So coconut oil is beneficial to most people!
Thank you for your comment! Have a wonderful weekend!

Those tea bags do go a long way. I have to watch the caffeine in the PM, too, so I get hot water with lemon at restaurants, preferably in a coffee mug.

Yes, that’s what I do all the time. I don’t get bored. In a sense, it’s discipline to me!

Isn’t amazing how difficult it is to order Hot Water in restaurants? I remember my Mom trying to get some when we were in the US, and it was quite a fiasco! Singapore is much better now; they even ask you which you would prefer, hot or cold?

What a delight that they ask! When I went to Vietnamese restaurants, they give me boiling water to which I don’t mind at all.

A lovely post, Miriam. I am also always cold. Even when they had the heat wave while we were in England recently I was not unbearably hot.

Thank you, Robbie! I imagine the heatwave in England was not too dry since it rains often. Dry heat bother my throat and nose when breathing!
