Saw the PrinceSSe de Tarente [de Sévigné wrote]… who takes 12 cups of tea every day… which, she says, cures aLL her iLLs. She aSSured me that Monsieur de Landgrave drank 40 cups every morning. ‘But Madame, perhaps it is reaLLy only 30 or so.’ ‘No, 40. He was dying, and it brought him back to life before our eyes.’ … Madame de Sévigné also reported that it was a Frenchwoman, the Marquise de la Sablière, who initiated the fashion of aDDing milk to tea. “Madame de la Sablière tOOk her tea with milk, as she told me the other day, because it was to her taste.” (By the way, the English delighted in this “French touch” and iMMediately adopted it.)
