Soooooo, I have to admit, I loved tea... ok, maybe I mean a little obsessed, hahahahaha!
I don't drink Alcohol, and I've been trying to limit my coffee. Most Soda is Waaaaaay to sweet for me, and for the same reason, I tend to water my juices down as well.
Suffice to say, Tea is my go-to drink.
I think what I like the best, is the absolute huge variety that's available. No two kinds of tea taste quite the same, and there is a lot of potential for different mixes (not just with other teas!).
What are your Favorite blends and mixes. Or just standalone Teas? Why do you like them?
Feel free to leave some recommendations!
Morning Pick-me-up
2oz Coffee
4oz Bengal Spice (Celestial brand)
4oz whole milk
Sweeten to taste with Grade-A Maple Syrup.
I Think my favorite by far is a mix of Coffee, Milk and Bengal Spice from Celestial (probably one of their most popular blends). Its warm, spicy and juuuust the right amount of Caffeine to wake me up, but not make me crash. I like to add a bit of Grade-A (or B) Maple Syrup for flavor, but Bengal spice is naturally sweet, so should not need much at all.
Rooibos Black
4oz Rooibos Tea
3oz Black Cherry Juice
1 tablespoon Grade-A Maple Syrup.
1/3 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spices.
I normally don't like Rooibos Tea. Its too bitter and mediciny for me. But I finally found a good mix! Black Cherry juice really compliments the tea's smoother flavors, while not overpowering it like Apple or Cranberry might. A bit of Grade-A Maple Syrup also adds more sweetness and another level of flavor (You'll find its my Sweetener of choice for a lot of things, honestly.) The REAL star of the show here though, is surprisingly Chinese 5 Spices. A little bit easily masks Rooibos's natural mediciny bitterness, while bringing out the Earthy, grassy notes, instead of masking them like just straight up Cinnamon might do. Personally, I use about 1/3 teaspoon, but if you want to try this one for yourself, I recommend playing around with it and setting your own.
The Result is an Unbelievably Smooth and mellow tea that can't really be compared to anything else.
