English morning meal Tea - The Refined Morning Beverage

Wake up, light the burner under the teapot, and wait for the water to start humming. A cup of English morning meal tea awaits your taste buds, a polite wake up call for your mind to engage gears for the day.

I'm a busy someone with a list of things to do that verily never ends. Each morning I take half an hour to wake up. No computer, no telephone or Tv, not even a conversation with a loved one. This 30 minuscule time belongs to me, and I spend it wisely mental and planning with no pressure. While coffee sometimes accompanies me during this morning ritual, a cup of tea is my adored beverage because there are so many fabulous flavors to choose from.

I very recommend that every person start the day with this short downtime, even if it means you get up earlier than the rest of your family. It's a chance to naturally enjoy being awake and alive, to pay attentiveness to only what is in front of you at that moment. You will find yourself more effective and have fewer worries and distractions throughout the day, because you've had that time to wake up completely before being thrown to the daily lions.

The primary English morning meal for which English morning meal tea is named is rarely eaten on a daily basis anymore. With every person so health conscious, a few over-easy eggs and a "rasher" of bacon, accompanied by a pile of toast and a nice slice of Black Pudding** don't end up on the house menu with great regularity. The tea remains with us, and that, as they say, is a very good thing.

You could drink English morning meal tea anytime of the day, but it's a extra treasure as the first thing you taste in the morning. A minuscule splash of milk or cream is heavenly (and traditional), and if a minuscule sweet helps you wake up, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar.

This tea pairs well with any food, not just bacon and eggs, so if you're looking for a low fat morning meal treat, put some fruit such as berries, peaches, oranges, grapefruit, etc. In a bowl, add a integrate of tablespoons of plain yogurt or skim milk, and a handful of rolled oats or granola. Savor the cool fruit with the warm, smoky tea and you will have a new outlook on your day.

**Black Pudding? What the heck is that? So glad you asked. Mix together pig's blood, boiled groats (buckwheat), lard, onion, flour, and seasonings. Stuff into a pig's stomach or a well-greased tin, if you don't have a spare pig's stomach lying around. Pennyroyal mint was at one time used as a seasoning for this unusual pudding. Boil or bake until completely cooked. You may enjoy this pudding immediately or store it in a cool spot for up to some months.

Perhaps it's also a very good thing that the primary English morning meal is no longer served regularly....
