I love her

People always think that Alfred’s gonna be the one who gets diabetes due to the amount of fast food and soda he consumes.

Little do they know that the one really at highest risk for diabetes is Ivan.

First of all this man is Russian and more importantly THE personification of Russia as a whole so this man absolutely loves himself some tea and cake like many of his people do.

In fact he still has an old Samovar his older sister gifted to him back in 1776 and still uses it when he wants some tea after a long afternoon of knitting.

(This is a samovar btw for my non-Slavic peeps)

If you’ve never seen a Russian afternoon tea set up it looks something like this

Very cute, very chill, there is always cakes and other good foods. Anyone who has tea with Ivan loves it and stays for the vibes and treats…until…Ivan serves himself…

This mans is a menace to all past, present and future dentists. He puts a MINIMUM of 6 sugar cubes and 3 spoonfuls of jam in his tea. If he’s feeling “adventurous” that day you’ll witness him do that plus milk and butter. Best believe he loves having his sugary cakes and pastries with his tea too and he is 2000% gonna dip his sugary treat in his sugary drink.

Even his sisters and Alfred get disturbed by his tea time habits cuz legit how the actual fuck has this man not fallen into a diabetic coma yet?

Iron Widow (by Xiran Jay Zhao)

Is magnificently paired with

Yellow tea

The tea of emperors, though unlike Zetian, it is delicate and subtle.

So maybe with

À black tea prepared the Russian way with a samovar.

A strong bitter concentrate toped with hot water, acidic citrus fruits and softened with sugar or jam. Sounds more like Zetian and her harem.
