Put the kettle on y'all! It's time for Downton Abbey. Tonight is the premiere of season 3 with the Crawley family and I'll be ready at 9:00 p.m. {ET} sharp!
I'm gonna get comfy and cozy and watch from my sofa with some hot tea and scones. Tonight I'll be sippin' Harney and Sons' Jasmine Fairy Maidens. This is a tisane...a caffeine-free infusion--not from the tea plant, but made from bark, flower, and seeds.
My coffee table is set for a "Low Tea" with a scone, lemon curd, double devon creme, and Jasmine Tisane.
I am an avid lover of tea and yesterday I really overindulged! I had tea in the morning with a small amount of fruit and tons of vitamins. Then, I went out to do some errands and shopping and stopped at Chick-fil-A and got an iced tea...still no solid food. By the time I arrived back home, I was shaking like a leaf from the caffeine on an empty stomach! So tonight, I'm taking it easy on the caffeine, but still getting that wonderful tea flavor.
Tea Tip: Who should not drink tea?
~Children under the age of two.
~Do not drink tea on an empty stomach, if you have a stomach ailment.
~Do not drink tea one hour before and after taking medications.
~Do not drink tea if you have a kidney problem; consult with your Doctor first.

If you are a Downton Abbey fan, enjoy the show!
