It’s Tea Time!

Hello  my Foodie Friends! 

April can still be a chilly month. Having a cup of tea can help those “chill to the bone” days. So, let’s have a hot cup of tea together. It is a well-known fact that I am a coffee drinker but I drink and love tea also. It is a comfort drink from my childhood. As a child, I was not allowed to have coffee, but tea with honey was a favorite. As I grew older, tea time became a special bonding moment that included advice from Mom. I can still visualize her putting the tea kettle on the stove and when the whistle blew, she gave you her full attention. Our time together included chatting, laughing and having a fun conversation while having a cup of hot tea. Looking back, I realize that this time was special and that tea time was my opportunity to have my mom’s company or my dad’s and talk to them.

There are lots of ways to make tea but they always start with hot water. Options for boiling water can include beautiful electric tea kettles along with stove top tea kettles made of stainless steel and ones made of enamel over steel. Electric tea kettles are perfect if you are like me and are multi tasking in the kitchen and home all the time then forgetting about the water boiling.  Having an auto-shut off on an electric tea kettle is a good option for us!  

If you prefer to use a stove top tea kettle, stop by Compliments to the Chef to see our colorful assortment of LeCreuset tea kettles. LeCreuset tea kettles are crafted from fast-heating premium carbon steel and finished with a colorful enamel in a stylish palette of colors to complement any kitchen. Tea kettles are perfect for preparing French press coffee, oatmeal and much more in addition to tea. The LeCreuset tea kettles are made of durable carbon steel that heats water rapidly, and a fixed single-tone whistle alerts when the water has reached a rolling boil. The kettles make excellent gifts and are a beautiful way to add a touch of color to the kitchen.

There are many moments over tea we can connect through everyday conversations. Creating tea time can give us moments to pause, check in, and to enjoy each other’s company.
