There we sat in a beautiful compound on a beach and were given many different teas to taste and to drink whichever we wished. Not one of them had milk in them, all were completely just tea and water. It was only through this experience that I realized the rich quality and diversity in various teas. <br /> Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-606459370604490382018-06-12T21:10:46.687-07:002018-06-12T21:10:46.687-07:00Beautiful!

The...Dear Laurie,<br />Yes, I love a cup of tea as well!<br />The traditional English tea is brewed in a teapot, then poured into a cup through a strainer. Milk is then added afterwards.<br />I'm aware that in many countries, including the USA, milk is not added at all. But come to England and ask for a cup of tea, it is usually served with milk added, although many restaurants and coffee bars now leave it to the customer to milk the tea if so wishes - which, I think, is due to a large influx of foreign tourists and immigrants.<br />However, the tea we drink today is nothing like the traditional English brew. Instead, a tea bag is placed into a mug and boiling water is poured over it.<br />Your illustration of the brew likened to Christian influence to others, as well as regeneration of the spirit, are excellent. Even Jesus himself used the science of chemical change in the making of bread - once the flour, yeast and water are mixed in and baked, they cannot be separated again (Matthew 13:33, Luke 13:20-21).
