Continuing the Denny’s of the world tour, this time with even more lemon and honey.
Denny’s is our default local too-tired-to-cook option. Pancake puppies are pure evil…have you tried them?
The most evil thing I found at Denny’s was the design your own pancakes that they had a few months back… I had pancakes stuffed with bacon and praline pecans, topped with caramel syrup. Absolutely amazing… err… I mean, absolutely evil. Yes. Yes, it was.
Oh, you ordered them just to look?!
Yes… LOOK. That’s what I did. That’s it. I just looked at them. I did not devour them. No, I did not do that. Nope.
some one find a fire extinguisher. The pants they are a blazin’
Tea— n. A hot drink made by infusing the dried, crushed leaves of the tea plant in boiling water.
(That said, it was theperfect chaser after thanksgiving w the in-laws: hear nog,nachoes, beer, turkey and ham and fixins nd pecan pie and 2weird shots of something green. TGFT!)
Those shots must have been good, whatever they were – what’s “hear nog”?
HUH????
Sorry — hard egg nog. (Smartphone typos + tipsiness!)
hhehehe……….
Why does everyone want to blame the Smartphone? ;^)
@ K S – There’s a reason for that – have you ever seen the website Damn You, Autocorrect! (http://damnyouautocorrect.com/)?

backlogging from sat 1 may -
Cup of hot Lipton with lemon at the Arcade diner in Memphis. The trolley couldn’t get there because the switches were out, so after walking the last few blocks through a deluge, with tornado sirens going off around us, this really hit the spot. Everything has it’s place, and the rest of our breakfast was worth all the peril we braved to get there.
(backlogging)
Choked down half a cup, hot at a conference as there were no other options and I needed liquid/caffeine. Blegh! Not so much bad tasting, as flavorless and sad. Note to self – put teabags in new purse so that nextime I can BYOT!
Preparation
Now that’s a good idea!
Just seeing the logo on the box brings back memories — basically this was the main tea that was available when I was growing up. How things have changed. Makes me think of my dad. He’d take a big box to work and have a cup with his lunch every day. This is what Americans thought tea was in the 60s and 70s for the most part. Lol.
If they have milk, it helps. Or lemon.
My humans started carrying teabags with them (even though they prefer loose tea – just too impractical when dining out) to avoid the same situation.
Little Yellow Teapot, why don’t they use empty ones and fill them w/ their own loose tea. Best of both worlds:)
Well, as you can see, my humans don’t always think of the obvious. I will pass your suggestion along. Sounds like a good alternative. Of course, they could always put some loose tea in a little plastic baggie, but then, they’d need an infuser or a strainer… hmm, gets complicated. Your idea sounds better.
There are definitely some pretty good bagged/sachet tea, but filling them yourself elimintates the need for trial and error.
I think my rating was more a reflection of my frustration — I was at a conference where we all padi $20 for refreshments, and the only tea was a box of Lipton. At least a Bigelow variety pack would have shown some consideration (and been appropriate wince we were in Charleston). Anyway, in the right context I enjoy this tea. Piping hot with lemon in a diner on a cold, rainy day, it’s a lifesaver. Catching up with my mother in law over a large mug with milk & sugar, it’s great too. I’m sure my first tea was Lipton, and I’d rather have it than no tea at all!
This is what they provide at work (and no complaints, as it is free) and I make iced tea with it if I don’t have anything better to hand. But I find it very tannic and I have to dose it with lots of sweetener and lemon.
The fruityness enhances the white and green tea’s subtle flavor, rather than masking or overpowering it. The Lipton pyramid bags the best quality tea I can find at a chain supermarket. This one is my favorite so far. Absolutely wonderful with a teaspoon of honey.
Preparation
When you first brew Honey Lemon tea the smell already starts to calm you down. On a day like today where it is still cloudy and chilly this tea has that calming effect. The smell is sweet and more honey smelling but when you taste it you get the kick of lemon and the sweetness of the honey. It is not too overwhelming for what it is.
Preparation
It wasn’t bad. Kind of middle of the road for me. I did the usual milk and sugar prep that I tend to apply to black tea, and there really is a nice Vanilla flavor. Just very light. I tried it iced once as well. I won’t do that again, although my boyfriend loved it. It’s also been a while since I’ve bought any because I can’t seem to find it in any of the groceries any more. I’ll check Shop Rite when it opens up, if nothing else, so I can make my Hunny his Vanilla iced tea. The Bigelow version just didn’t cut it for him.
