I drink coffee in the morning most of the year, but there's an inevitable point in the winter when I decide I want a hot bowl of soup for breakfast, which means I'm making miso soup, which means I'm making genmaicha to go with it. That actually started today and will probably carry on until some point in February.

I occasionally get a craving for sambar and idli breakfasts, too, so I'll make a huge batch of sambar and for as long as that lasts, I'm making chai with breakfast.

I'll also have peppermint tea after work or late in the evening on occasion. And on some weekends when I'm working on a project for most of the day, I'll make oolong and resteep the leaves over and over again, peeling of layers of flavors throughout the day.

The bf will occasionally offer to fix me a cup of Earl Grey, which he drinks almost exclusively and daily. When I take him up on it, that I'll take with a little cream or milk. The rest I take as is.

And, yeah, the electric kettle is the tits, love that thing.
