Mama's Hot Water Tea

A little memory-maker from Mama's kitchen in the 1950s.

Hot water tea,

so good for me,

Mama's home-made recipe.

Tummy warmer,

on the coldest days,

Soothing, smoothing, and

Caffeine-free.

If you like,

I'll share it with you,

this delicious, easy-to-make,

hot water brew.

In a pan, on a medium stove

pour...

3/4 cup water,

1/2 cup canned milk

1 teaspoon of clover honey,

or a little brown sugar will do.

If you like a little spice,

add a dash of cinnamon, too.

Stir over medium heat,

for a minute or two...

Mama's Hot Water Tea Recipe,

from me to you.

I just had my tea with my mom-and some wonderful biscotti!! Yum! Will have to try your recipe one day.

Hey Brin...this sounds delicious! Isn't it just 'magical' the things that we remember from our past that brings a 'warm' feeling to our sometimes 'chilly' souls. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Years to you and yours. Blessings. Joyce * His inspirations
