Amy Poehler Bonds with Her Mom Over Tea

A new mom herself, how does Amy Poehler bond with her mother? Over tea of course!

As we wrote about just recently for Mother’s Day, tea is a great way to celebrate mom any time of year.

In the May issue of InStyle Magazine Poehler reminisces some of her favorite times with mom, Eileen. “Some of my best memories are having a simple cup of tea with my mom,” Amy said. Although, for this talented funny girl, the story wouldn’t be complete without a little comic Poehler twist. When asked to list the Poehler family’s criteria for the perfect cup of tea, she mentioned that it included placing the kettle on high heat until it boiled and whistled, then forgetting about it and getting in the shower with someone yelling, “Somebody get the kettle!”

Our favorite item on the perfect cup of tea list?  “Stir in love, family and good conversation. Enjoy!” We hope that Amy will continue on her own traditions of tea as she expands her own family!
