Good afternoon everyone,
On the weekend I went carolling. I may not be the
strongest singer, but I make up for it in enthusiasm. And my singing,
apparently, is very contagious. I can almost always get dogs to howl along.
Ahem. The carolling was at a old heritage house that was decorated in the
Victorian style for Christmas. So not only did I shatter antique glass with my
pipes, but I also got a tour of the place. And in the kitchen there was an old
cast iron stove that was heating up the kitchen with a smoldering ember wood
fire. Magical. Then, as a treat, they had baked some authentic Victorian
Christmas desserts in the wood burning oven. Short bread, sugar cookies, ginger
snaps…and figgy pudding.
Figgy. Pudding.
So I might have more than my share of figgy pudding.
But to be fair, I love figs. And having it drizzled in caramel butter
sauce… cooked by a wooden fire…I don’t think you could have had anything more
magical. Except for tea. To try to replicate some of this delicious treat for
you guys, I’ve blended a fig, cranberry, almond, date and Pu’erh tea
today. It is a inspired tea that is so delicious, that you will most certainly
forgive my carolling out bursts when I feel a Christmas song coming on…
OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Now bring us some figgy pudding,
Now bring us some figgy pudding,
Now bring us some figgy pudding,
And bring some out here.
Good tidings ...
For we all like figgy pudding,
For we all like figgy pudding,
For we all like figgy pudding,
So bring some out here.
Good tidings ...
And we won't go until we got some,
And we won't go until we got some,
And we won't go until we got some,
So bring some out here.
Tea is currently hot and ready under the tea cozy!
