Not my cup of tea...

[autographedcat]

So this morning, having finished my first cup of tea and still feeling somewhat hung over, I shuffled into the kitchen for a second. There's a ritual to this, more mundane than the Japanese ceremony variety, but a ritual none the less. Put the kettle on to boil, fetch a teabag from the PG Tips box and drop it into the cup. Pour the boiling water into the cup and let it steep for a few minutes. Take the cup over to the counter, two teaspoons. Milk. Start to walk back to my desk, sip.....

Choke.

I really don't think that hot salted tea is going to be a taste sensation that is sweeping the country anytime soon. Good grief, I was really out of it this morning.

Er......why?

It'll curdle beautifully, and leave a rancid oily layer on top of the tea as well, thus demonstrating that there is something worse that can be done to tea than simply adding salt... ;)

(Yak butter is, I think, the traditional Tibetan additive for tea.)

Then you'd have butter tea!

(I was just being silly.)
