7. Cloud of Milk Pattern
Design © Connie G. Barwick
I love hot tea, especially Chai tea with milk. I had a English professor in college, Dr. Sara Wingard, who had some of us to her house for a tea each Spring. A cloud of milk swirling in a cup of tea always takes me back to my first experiences with cucumber sandwiches, scones, and brewing tea from loose leaves.
