A Cup of Tea
When the world is all at odds And the mind is all at sea Then cease the useless tedium And brew a cup of tea. There is magic in its' fragrance, There is solace in its' taste; And then laden moments vanish Somehow into space. And the world becomes a lovely thing! There's beauty as you'll see; All because you briefly stopped To brew a cup of tea. ~ Source unknown

I saw on the news this morning where 70 people paid $1000.00 each for a drink. It was made with pieces of an iceberg for the ice part.
Yes, it is made with ice from an Alaskan glacier and comes in a silver engraved Tiffany mint julep glass.
I wonder if you could use mint julep cups for iced (mint!) tea? I think they are so stylish!
