This is my tea from yesterday morning. Chamomile and more cream than I can come up with any real excuse for. A friend once told me that when I make tea with cream "it tastes like butter!"

I don't really deny it. When it's early morning, and I don't want to be out in the big, scary world, and my anxiety and OCD is just laying in wait to pounce on my mind, sometimes I want tea that tastes a little bit like butter.

I know Chamomile should traditionally not have milk or cream in it, but one thing I will never understand is people who don't like any English teas with milk or cream. The tea itself is good alone, of course, but the milk or cream is part of the natural English tea experience (unless it has something like citrus in it or is an herbal tea like Chamomile). It's one thing to criticize if someone insists on adding milk to chrysanthemum tea or Chamomile, but gawking at milk in Earl Grey : madness!
