Recipe + Vintage Teacup : Ginger Tea

A few years back, while living in Spain, a friend of mine made me this home-brewed bliss. Feeling a little in need of some warmth, I made some today. It is perfect for a cold, sore throat or just to cheer you up with a zing.

Ingredients:
fresh ginger root
lemon
honey

Peel the ginger root and cut into large chunks.

Place the chunks in hot water, let boil or simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add lemon, turn water down.

When ready to serve, add honey. Yum!

Vintage Photograph: Spinning Teacups

I was so excited when my Pappy gave me this photo of him from when he was little, on the teacup ride with his mom. An actual vintage teacup ride photo from the family, so great! He said she had to go to the nursing station afterward because he spun her so fast.

Background

Teacup Vintage was created by a duo of twenty-somethings who have shared 15 years of friendship. We have a love for all things vintage and child-friendly. Our adventures in vintage and thrifting started when we were wee tots and our grandmothers insisted on making all the dresses our moms couldn't find at the local thrift. We have fond memories of wearing those dresses (lovely little ladies with skinned knees), sitting criss-cross applesauce on hand crocheted afghans, wearing hundreds of "pearls", and sipping peppermint tea. When we were teenagers, we raided our mothers' closets and wore everything from hand-made 70's prom dresses to bell-bottoms (photos to come, you are in for a treat). We both went to University for education and continue to work with children as nannies and teachers. We love to write about vintage and handmade wares, children, tea parties, cooking, travel, and the big and small adventures in our everyday lives.
