Tea and yum

Running short on honey at home, my dad ventured into combining real maple syrup with green tea.  I did the same and it was wondiferous!  I realized maple syrup is a good seasonal choice (typically for early new-year/spring months), but if you ration it out, it can come to play just in time for oncoming colder weather as well.

I also noticed that baileys and tea might work well:  if people are pleased to try milk or cream with their tea, why not enjoy it with a bit of Irish cream?  Especially in the winter months, I think it makes sense--for those living in the temperate regions, the extra calories and fermented sweetness of an alcohol in a hot beverage are probably a welcome way to prepare for the colder months.

This may be a sacrilegious act, but I'll try it someday just to see what happens...
