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.

I've had salted lemonade (and salted limeade)... and salted plum soda, but never salted tea that I remember, no.

Though hot salted water is good for gargling with if you've got a sore throat. (well, theoretically, I always had trouble with it, so I'd make boullion instead and gargle with that.)

Okay, so I also wanted to comment because this icon will probably never be more appropriate.
