It's raining whole day here in Belgrade. It is pretty cold too, so I decided to stay at home today and enjoy a little bit.
I am a big fan of tea, I always buy some new types of teas, mix the ones I already have, add some cinamon or milk. There are dozens of combinations, experiment and make your own!
Today I am drinking raspberry tea. This is my favourite cup, my boyfriend bought it as a birthday gift and I adore it. It has motives of Paris on it and - best of all - a small coverlid. So, you can put pour tea inside and then close the cup so it stays warm longer.
You can also see a small jar of honey - I bought it in Greece, in a wonderful place - Lefkada. I usually put only one small spoon of honey in the tea. Every time I use this honey I remember beautiful sunny days - I imagine that I am sitting on the beach and looking at the bright, blue sky and sea. :-)
When I am ready to drink a tea, I use this small cups made for putting tea beg away. I like the blue one but I have many different colours of them. Of course, there is always some cookie as a desert, I enjoy eating sweets.
Drinking tea is much more than just a way to relax. It is really healthy. I want to mention some of the benefits of drinking tea:
First of all, tea is full of antioxidants. It hydraties your body and skin, it can help you lose weight, green tea especially. It boostes your imune system, so you should drink more of it during winter when there are lot of viruses around.
And, I was most surprised by this fact: one health effect of tea has the strongest evidence - consuming tea reduces risk of heart attack and strock! Wow!
So, instead of drinking all those juices from the store, a coke, or something simmilar - do something good for yourself, make yourself a cup of tea.
Add some lemon, a little bit of honey and believe me, it will make your day warmer and better!
This is my small collection of teas:
What kind of tea do you like?
