Did You Know that January is Hot Tea Month? So Let’s Start with Peppermint Tea in an Owl Mug.
I just found out. So for this month, I will drink my way through my stash. Do I have 21 flavours in my tea drawer? We will find out together.
And because I think you’d like to know, I will post a picture. And I will show you my favorite mugs too.
Day 1 (January 11)
I drink it HOT and without any milk or sweeteners.
- I’ve never had this as an iced tea, but I will try that today.
- I HAVE added a hot chocolate packet to this tea and it is YUMMY. That’s how I am drinking it right now.
- This owl mug is my latest acquisition. I like the turquiosey colour scheme, the owls, and the Bible verse (Joshua 1:9) that is in Spanish.
The verse in English is as follows: “I’ve commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.”
The 21 Teas I tried and the recipes and crafts I made are after the jump.

Love the mug! No honey? Yipes. I admire you in facing this challenge. Now, if there was a chocolate month, I’d guess I’d have to sign up, sigh…
