Lifestyles Potluck:What’s a Picnic without Sweet Tea?

There is, as far as I am concerned only one way to make iced tea and that is good old southern sweet tea. An iced tea by any other name just tastes…nasty.
But once you have reached the perfect tea you can do all kinds of amazing things with it! This is a […]

A Very Nearly Tea…

 
I realized the other day that I have not reviewed any artisian loose leaf teas in while.
Alot of the reason for that is that our finances have been tight and grocery store teas are so much easier to come by…Kettle and Cup is not beig enough or well known enough that tea companies offer to […]

Welcome to My Tea Party

 
Welcome to my tea party! First, I would like to thank Jan and Tom’s place for hosting this event.
I thought we would visit on the porch and enjoy the sounds of the birds and maybe catch a little breeze.

Celestial Seasonings Powerfully Plum….Iced

 
I was looking through the tea melange in the pantry on friday. I wanted iced tea that was flavored but different. Sometimes we get into an iced tea rut in the summer. Peach tea, raspberry tea, orange or lemon…you know how it is. God forbid that someone would think that we […]

A Cool Idea

If you have fresh fruit on hand cube it up and flash freeze it in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Once it is frozen you can put it in storage containers. Rather than reaching for the ice the next time you are making a glass of sweet tea just add a few […]

Now, when […]

Ugly Mug Chai Mix

I am not a big fan of chai mix.  Like the instant coffee mixes they seem unnaturally sweet to me and even a little cloying.
When the fantastic people at Ugly Mug sent me coffee to review, they also sent a package of their chai. The kids were ecstatic, they love the stuff.  I was less […]
