"At noon Ma sliced bread and filled bowls with the hot bean broth and they all ate where they were, close to the stove. They all drank cups of strong, hot tea. Ma even gave Grace a cup of cambric tea. Cambric tea was hot water and milk, with only a taste of tea in it, but little girls felt grown-up when their mothers let them drink cambric tea"
Laura Ingalls Wilder ~ The long winter
Rebecca was most keen to follow Grace's lead with the cambric tea.
It reminds me of the need for doughnuts when we were reading Homer Price.
Happy Reading!
