Brown Betty’s Brew

Brown Betty’s Brew

Where does this slightly astringent
Yet tantalizingly fruity sweet amber
Liquid warmth come from?
Like ambrosia and nectar,
A paradisical flavor
With milk and honey flowing…
Is this an emperor’s brew or
A pirate’s treasure?!
How satisfying to drink
This mug
Of Earl Grey.
ã14 April 1998, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
