Get The Jump On Winter With A Honey Lemon Tea

At the beginning of school season and the change in the weather, all it takes is for one person to get the sniffles before the whole family is out for the count.

To prevent or lessen the damage done by colds that can be prevented, Catherine from A Little Life has kindly posted a recipe for the Honey Lemon Tea she first tasted at a Korean friends house. Add slices of ginger and it would make the perfect house warming or hostess gift during the chilly winter months.

Earl Grey Scented Chocolate Cake

Tracy from Shutterbean has a great cake for those who can tell the difference between their Earl Grey tea and Oolong tea. This moist chocolate cake scented with Earl Grey tea was baked and cleaned up in about 30 minutes, during her son, Cooper’s nap. Perfect for a chocoholic in a hurry.

The recipe is from Shutterbean via HoneyKennedy

Modern Tea Kettle

For the perfect cup of tea, you don’t need very much, just recently boiled water, tea leaves of your choice, cup or mug and a little time to savour the magic that is a cup of tea. This Tea Kettle from Jason Krajewski is a great idea, it has thermochromic paint that turns from black to white when the water is hot, and the kettle on the whole looks modern, space-age almost.

For more information on the Tea Kettle, you can find Jason’s profile on Coroflot or from Freshouses

T-Sac Tea Filters

Instead of bothering with filters and strainers when it comes to making a good cup of tea, how about trying out the T-Sac Tea Filters. Made from a disposable paper filter, they act like tea bags, without being filled with too-fine tea dust. Instead the cup is filled with the perfect cut tea leaves of your favourite tea.

You can see more information and buy the T-Sac Tea Filters from the Davids Tea Shop

For the nerds

Robot tea eggPeeka boo!

Do you love tea? Any tea, Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Rooibos, Chai? And are you a serious nerd? As in you can totally relate to any character in Star Trek and  Star Wars?

Do Mathematical equations keep you up at night… in a good way? If you answer any of  the above in the affirmative…then I have a treat just for you. A robot tea egg. He will keep his position by clutching the edge of your cup with his robot hands, and allow you to make sure your tea is water weak or strong enough to melt your teaspoon.
