Hot Tea, Mint and Caramel Syrup

Written by Published on Updated on November 12, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hello dear Foodie Friends,

 

We are definitely having some very lovely sunny weather with a very strong chill factor.  But we are also having rainy days today is definitely one of them.  I woke up to a very cloudy, windy and very cold Monday.  I started working quite early this morning, and was not really in a coffee mood, so my next option was Tea of course.   

My absolute favorite Tea is Chamomille Tea.  Now, you are probably wondering where you would find fresh tea.  Well,  the mountains, ummm the Greek mountains.  My Aunt picks tea when she’s in Crete and she sends me a package of Tea and small goodies with my mom.  Actually, it is almost that time of year when mom does come to NL for the Holidays, which reminds me that she should be coming up next month.

I do love my Tea, even the ones that supposedly make you drowsy.  The lastest Tea beverage that I like is this one filled with Cranberries and Mint. 🙂  I boiled a few cups of water added some Earl Grey Tea and Caramel Syrup and it was delicious.   The Cranberries don’t really give taste to the tea but the Mint and Caramel Syrup seriously makes this a very tasty beverage. 

I am thinking of putting up my Christmas Tree earlier this year.  The box is out of the storage area and it sitting on my living room floor.  I have to check and see if all the lights are working, and if they are I will do this on Sunday. 🙂

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
