I went to a Ladies ONLY Bible study tonight. I knew there was going to be limited parking so, my husband and sons dropped me off. While there, I was served this delectable drink. It was Cranberry-Raspberry Tea. YUM! The hostess of the study has a sister who lives in England. When she goes to visit, she brings back some of this tea.
Before I left, I got a refill (not for myself...I'm a wife and a mother...so, I GIVE...just go with me). After a GREAT Bible study, my family picked me up and the opportunity for me to share this wonderful drink with them had presented itself (kinda the female version of kill and drag it home, I guess).
My husband, who loves all things foreign (and wants to constantly travel...which, I try to discourage....I'm a homebody!!), took one sip and spoke of wishing to go to England. My oldest son in the back was chomping at the bit for a drink of the "English Tea". My husband passed the cup to the backseat. The boy took a drink and wished aloud to be in England right that instant. He wanted more Cranberry-Raspberry Tea. He now knows why they (the English) have tea time everyday.
The little brother then wanted his turn at the tea. He took his sip and said, "Interesting, very interesting" (he's six). The older boy decided we should start growing cranberries and raspberries so we can make more tea.
All the Pappas household knows about growing cranberries is water, a lot of water is used. (After looking it up on the web, I see something about flooding them, really like I know.) The youngest then informs his family that we need to dig a deep, deep hole and a wide, wide hole and pour some water in it. (Hey, he knows more than I do. He must be picking something up from the Ocean Spray commercials.)
