Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.

Yum! My grandma makes great fruitcake too! I never understood why fruitcake is hated because my grandma’s was always so tasty:)
Now that she’s gone, I’m going to have to break down and learn how to do it.
