Nifty tea pot that made the raspberry leaf tea
On search for a printer, Rick consulted the almighty Craig’s List. The best option he found, was a chic moving out of state selling her printer-scanner combo. Saturday morning, while dealing with the effects of the drinks from only hours previously (gluten-free of course), we headed out to Kellog Road. The chic had mentioned that there were some kitchen things she was getting rid of as well. Being very picky I was skeptical of finding anything I liked or could use. Also, being very minimalistic now, I didn’t want to bring home anything unnecessary. To my surprise, and Rick’s satisfaction we found some things that we could use – for free!
My favorite of the batch was a wooden cutting board, originally from Ikea. And a cute little tea pot that matched my rice bowls. The perfect little tea pot has been used several times in the last three days. You can put loose leaf tea in it. There is a little “filter” to keep the leaves from pouring out the spout. I love it!
Today I am making another pot of raspberry leaf tea. I’ve been feeling tired all over and have had a scratchy throat since Friday. As I mentioned in my post Raspberry Leaf Tea – A Woman’s Tonic, this tea is packed with lots of vitamins and minerals. That’s just what I need to keep from getting officially sick. So far, paired with resting and eating well, it seems to be working.
Today, as part of my afternoon spent hibernating, I’m enjoying that tea with some peaches. There is something so satisfying about wrapping my cool hands around a warm cup of tea, breathing in the sweet earthy smell. To complete the homey feeling the window is cracked. The rain is falling creating a familiar, calming sound. (In December, I’m sure that will no longer feel calming but depressing.)
So thank you Rick for searching Craig’s List and thank you Kellog Road girl for my lovely new tea pot that is just right!
