What Type of Tea Are You Drinking Right Now

Mostly Ponderosa, Pinyon, and White. And Pinyon nuts are delicious toasted or lightly sauteed in a little oil. That's how I use them in my rice pilaf; saute a handful or two of pine nuts with some onion and a little garlic, then I toss in a couple handfuls of orzo and stir all that until the orzo gets golden, and then all that gets stirred into the seasoned rice.

It's really good.

Ok! So any pine will do. Iā€™m picking pine , birch sticks and berries for my indoor fresh Christmas bouquets so Iā€™ll pick extra. I shall follow your advice and try something different.
I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever had orzo. Whatā€™s that?

Drank a concoction of grated ginger and garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, honey, and water. Supposed to help get rid of a cold, but has not done much for me!

How much lemon juice are you using. How much ginger and garlic. That concoction should purge your cold out.

It's a tiny pasta about the size of long-grain rice. Kind of looks like broken bits of spaghetti.

Ok glutinous noodles I canā€™t do but Iā€™ll substitute. Iā€™m interested in the pine thing. I love the smell of pine and even like the taste of the sap. Itā€™s annoyingly sticky but good.
Thanks Murrmur. Youā€™re a wealth of info

We alternate our teas.

Today it's Harney & Sons Lapsang Souchong. Trying to use these teabags up, not smoky enough for us. Nice tea, though.

Spouse loves Assam best for straight black tea. I'm more eclectic and bounce between Numi's Aged Earl Grey and Harney's Irish Breakfast.

We do prefer loose leaf; are currently blending a Lapsang Souchong from a local importer with an Indian brand Assam in a 3:1 ratio. Other teas we like are Hojicha (a roasted green tea) and White Peony.

With Indian or SE Asian food, whether at home or dine-out, always chai! Strong Assam with a good proportion of green cardamon pods. There's a Thai restaurant nearby that makes a lovely Thai iced tea with coconut milk that is wonderful - we have it in place of dessert, LOL.
 
I mentioned before that one of my favorite movies is "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel". Except for Dev Patel, the main actors actresses are all elderly, and all British as far as I know and it is a wonderful movie, and the hotel is in India.
There is a scene where Judi Dench is giving a cup of tea by a telemarketer boss, an Indian, but she mentioned "dunking' biscuits into tea, and he wanted an explanation of 'dunking'.

I was mesmerized and have tried to find a read good biscuit or shortbread ever since.
I bought a pack of "Walkers" shortbreads from Scotland, and amazon delivered them yesterday-
and I haven't dunked any yet into tea, but did eat two "petticoat tails" already and they are Fabulous!

My daughter and I love movies made in England, or elsewhere but with English casts. "Secrets and Lies" 1996 is one of them.
She bought me the movie years ago and it has been on TV very few times. It is a compelling movie and was nominated for many Oscars and I think the movie won two of them.

lol. That might be my favourite tea. This morning I had 2 cups with real lemon and real grated ginger. I can feel it go through my entire system.
 
WARNING!āš ļø ā€¼ļø

If youā€™re taking blood thinners, such as Coumadin (warfarin), keep in mind that ginger contains salicylate, a plant compound that naturally thins the blood. People with bleeding disorders should also take note (22Trusted Source).

Ginger doesnā€™t go well with blood thinners. Ginger naturally thins blood also so you might want to either skip it or talk to your doctor
