Hot (Herbal) Tea Month

In January we celebrates Hot (Herbal) Tea Month. Today we threw ourselves a "tea" party! You know we don't drink teas: black, grey, green, sweet, unsweetened  We just don't drink tea so several times during our Herbal Tea party I got to teach my children about the Word of Wisdom revelation of No Tea, No Coffee, and FOLLOWING THE PROPHET. We also got to learn about seeping tea bags vs. leaves in our drink, and why we still call it "tea". We also talked about 11's in England and "once's"  in Chilie.


It was all last minute, "Oh yea!! We're having a tea party today!" Good thing I had some  "tea". We made Cranberry Apple Herbal Tea and Red Raspberry Herbal Tea (yes, I had some left over from when I was patiently "waiting" for Lelee to make his arrival).

We made Cucumber Cracker Sammy's, Hot Tea, and Iced Tea.. we added way TOO MUCH SUGAR, and it was PERFECT! :)


The funniest thing at our tea party was when Daddy  said "Oh Regional, you're such a tease!" in a fancy England ascent   My 2 year old pointed to his cups and said "MY TEAS Daddy!" So much fun! Thanks Boys for helping Mommy today! YUM!



I can't wait for our next "Tea Party". I've got boys so once a year is just enough for us!
