Good morning Jen, I’m sure you’ll find a perfect teapot. Please share the details on your purchase. If or when you decide 😉. I love this. And ginger tea is part of my bedtime routine. The best way to settle from the day with a hot cup of ginger 🫚 tea.

Ooh drinks. I have a wide variety of fruit and flower tea bags. At the moment I’m drinking an apple infusion (teabags). But I have lemon and ginger, rose, mint, camomile, green tea with lemon, and a loose leaf infusion tea with apple and mint. Sometimes I put honey in the apple tea, or the lemon and ginger one. For hot chocolate I sometimes put a sprinkle of ground ginger, or ground cinnamon in. I’ve tried allspice, but it ends up quite grainy. Sometimes I buy little sachets of chocolate powder with salted caramel flavour in. I love the sound of your special tea, it must taste fab. We no longer have a specialist tea and coffee seller in town, sadly.

If it’s ordinary tea, it has to be Yorkshire Tea, or Lifeboat Tea, as the bags do two cups.

Love this.I make so many types of teas much like your "ginger tea".All under the classification chai and kashai.

Yet this week here is a recipe I do daily:water boiled with ginger cut into a coin slice pounded with a stone mortar, thrown smashed coin of ginger thrown into boiling water with few fresh cut lemongrass leaves,followed by a spoon of black tea,boiled for 1 minute more then turned off to pour into a mug adding some (1/4 spoon of brown sugar( jaggery) and a few drops of milk clouds...that's my wintery cup this week.

A friend of mine from Mumbai taught me how to make this type of chai. I love that you put the instructions here too. Reena what type of black tea do you use? Assam tea?

My favorite tea in the winter is Bengal Spice, I could drink it everyday. It’s a blend of cinnamon, roaster chicory, carob powder, ginger, pepper, clove and nutmeg. Warms me up 🫖

I'm a coffee gal but I've heard that hot drinks are my comfort thing. So I've been trying different teas and enjoying hot chocolate

Jen, I am also a tea lover - one of my favourites is “ginger flame” a blend an artisan tea maker prepares. I love to visit her - one day I would like to have a tea ceremony with her. I have several teapots but I’m also considering buying a Japanese side-handled pot. Oh, and while I was in Singapore waiting for a connecting flight, I treated myself to tea from TWG Tea.
