This has been an extremely wet and cold spring. In years past, vegetable plots would be sprouting and flower beds a riot of colors by this time. Not so this year. Most people are still huddled indoors. Even the crocuses, daffodils, and tulips are out later than usual. While April showers bring May flowers, showers in May will drown the flowers. 😥

Tea – the Perfect Antidote

The perfect antidote to inclement weather is to curl up with a good book and cup of tea. Use your favorite mug or treat yourself to that pretty antique teacup, which ever suits your fancy. There is no reason why pretty china should only be reserved for guests. Sit back, relax, and enjoy these moments of serenity. The sun will eventually emerge and there should be time enough to tend to the garden. If nothing else, this Lavender Tea will help you keep a stiff upper lip against that beastly weather outside. 😉

Lavender Tea – Soothing and Calming

Lavender is soothing and calming. Combined with tea, it is a real treat for the senses. This delicious and fragrant tea was adapted from The Pleasures of Tea and is a perfect taken with these Lavender Almond Cookies.

Keeping Tea Warm

A tea warmer or tea cozy is a perfect companion to the teapot in colder weather. It adds to the cozy feeling while keeping the tea warm for a longer period of time. This tea warmer uses a standard tea light which burns for about 4 hours.

    There’s nothing like a cup of your favourite tea for any kind of weather! I love tea! Your tea cozy looks lovely, I couldn’t help noticing the bee picture on the cozy and the beehive container with the spoon! Really cute and charming!

    Biren, I’ve never tried lavender tea before. I put it in macarons, financiers, chocolate cake but never thought about putting it in tea! This sounds just wonderful.

    You had me at “tea” 🙂 You know how I feel about this stuff. Not only do I love the addition of the lavender to your tea, but I adore that seashell tea cup you served it in! I am planning on doing another Tea Week this year (hopefully soon) but am in the process of TRYING to find a fun prize to giveaway. I’m unemployed (still no luck in that department) so I can’t afford to buy something myself, but if you have any fun ideas or thoughts on companies I can contact, please let me know 🙂 Definitely brainstorming…

    Hi Biren! Lavender tea sounds so nice, especially before going to bed. And a couple of comments on non-food stuff… I LOVE your teapot and the candle thing on the bottom (how you call this?). Absolutely in love. And…will you do a giveaway of your handmade tea cover thing??? LOL. They are so cute and I can’t believe (well actually I CAN believe) you made this. You are totally multi-talented! I’ve been seen at tea houses but now I’m on a mission to find a cute one for my tea pot!

      Nami, lavender tea is very calming and soothing and is good tea for the evening. 🙂 That stand with tea light is a tea warmer. It is very pretty in the evenings because the light from the candle will extend through the point of each of those petals. I should have taken a picture of it at night so that you can see what I mean. As for the tea cozy, do stay tuned…..

    Hi Biren,

    I love the tea cozy it’s so cute, and you are so talented! Isn’t is funny how much time we had in our “pre-blogging” days? 🙂

    I have some lavender in my cupboard too, I used some in my Herbs de Provence recipe. This is a good idea for tea. Thanks!!

      Thanks Lyndsey! Sewing is my other hobby. 🙂 Yes, food blogging does take up a lot of time and energy. Apart from the writing, there is the cooking and of course the photography. Although I only do 3 posts a week, I feel like I am constantly working on my posts.

      This is a good cup of tea to calm those frazzled blogging nerves. 😉
