Enjoying my lemon and ginger tea...

Good evening from this side of the planet. It's 6 PM here and the sky is full of dark clouds. It might pour anytime. Glad that the day was dry.
It was usual Monday. And I made it a bit hectic by doing deep cleaning of kitchen pantry and my younger daughter's cupboard after my school work got over. And in the morning break, I had to go to drop my younger daughter to her school. Husband picked her up in the afternoon and that saved me from driving in the traffic again.
Here I am with my lemon and ginger tea. Husband can not join as he is busy with meetings and calls. I handed him his cup and here I am in my balcony to enjoy mine in peace.
I will leave mylot for some time, enjoy my tea and finish few other things. I will catch you later after my dinner.
For now let me enjoy my tea staring at the beautiful dark clouds.
Leaving you with the picture of this beautiful hibiscus from my garden. It was clicked few months back and I spotted it in the gallery. Isn't it a gorgeous colour..a blend of red and pink.
Enjoy mylotting

@Juliaacv I hope you needed them. We had too much rain this year and that is not good.

It's gorgeous and my favourite one but it doesn't bloom frequently like the other varieties of hibiscus in my garden.
I really needed that quiet time. I sipped the tea while it poured outside. Glad the rain stopped in an hour.

Yes, they do boost our immunity and help us fight cold and cough. Ginger is soothing for sore throat and lemon is full of Vitamin c.

@Nawsheen Yes, it is. And it is advised for weight loss too. I avoid it as I am on the lower side of weight. I am in healthy range but on lower side and being diabetic,it becomes challenging for me to gain weight, I have managed the same weight for last decade.

I'm a bit boring when it comes to tea and only drink regular tea. However lemon and ginger does sound nice.

@sprite1950 Yes. They do boost up our immunity. Ginger and lemon help to fight cold, cough, and other seasonal allergies. They have been used as home remedies for ages now.

We never take flavoured tea. We take regular one and we add fresh ginger and lemon to it. It adds the flavour and also boosts our immunity.

These days we are getting respite from the rain during daytime. But clouds visit us in the late evening and it does rain for a while. So the rain is not fully gone
This is a gorgeous colour. But this one doesn't bloom frequently like the other varieties of hibiscus in my garden..this one is rare beauty

Your hibiscus certainly is pretty!
Lemon ginger tea sounds like a good "pick me up" . Glad you were able to enjoy it before the rain.

It poured heavily but glad that it was only for an hour. Enjoying my tea in the cold weather when it was pouring outside was heaven.
I love this colour of hibiscus. It's my favorite but it doesn't bloom frequently like other varieties in my garden.

It is a beautiful flower. I have around a dozen varieties in my garden and they all are gorgeous in their own way. I would like to have some more. I saw pictures of a few varieties and I have not seen them in real.
