My most favorite store in London is Whittard of Chelsea. It’s a tea and coffee shop that you can get lost in the different bins of white, black, green teas. Teas with flowers, teas with chives, teas with funny names. It’s been about 4 years since I was last in London, but I smile every time I have a cup of coffee or tea in my Whittard ceramic mugs.
One quality I look for in a good tea or coffee mug is a sturdy temperature resistant handle. I hate grabbing onto a hot cup and to have the handle to hot to hold. The handles on these mugs are solid (not hollow in the middle) which helps them resist the heat from the cup.
Previously, you could only purchase their ceramic products at their physical store locations. But they have revamped their website and now you can purchase their ceramic products online also. They also announced they opened two stores in the US (Boston and San Diego). You can bet that I’ll road trip out to SD this summer to check out the new digs!
Lemon Honey Toddy
1 Lemon Wedge
1/2 to 1 t Honey (local to your area)
6-8 oz hot water
When spring fever (literally allergy, fever, yuck) hits, one of the best natural medicines you can use is locally harvested honey. It contains bits of local pollen which can work as an immune booster. I know a hot toddy is usually correlated with a good punch of whiskey, but when you’re on codeine laced cough syrup (like I am) it’s best to lay off the hooch.
