Coffee, tea, or . . .
Wait a minute!
Is there a rebel in our midst?
Still, there’s nothing hotter than a grown man drinking a steamy beverage from a cute mug.
Gives new meaning to the term “mug shot” doesn’t it? 🙂

☕ CUPPA OF CHOICE: “Earl Grey, preferably Twinings of London or Bigelow, with no sugar, no milk, no lemon. However, now that it’s springtime, I’m looking forward to firing up my iced tea brewing machine – and Stash makes some awesome teas perfect for ice, like their Red, White, and Blueberry tea!”

DAD HAS A BAD CUP OF COFFEE AT A ROADSIDE DINER….

I thought there was. The menu said,

We are, if nothing else, an equal opportunity hot beverage blog. 🙂
When you’re hot, you’re hot.
Thanks for steeping with us this month, and thanks to all the HotTEAs of Children’s Poetry for packing the heat!
