I finally found a use for this stuff! Of course, it’s all gone now :D I used up my last 5 bags of this by brewing it up strong in my brown betty pot, icing it, and sweetening it with splenda. Now when I pour myself a glass I add rosewater, as I have been experimenting with making Lebanese tea at home. It’s pretty good. Needs lemon. The Greek/Lebanese Gyro place down the highway from me makes iced tea with rosewater and lemon, unsweetened, and it’s UH-MAZING. I only sweetened my clone at home because I am out of lemons and have been putting off my grocery run.

I need to try this with a Ceylon too, and see how I like that, as I think that’s more prevalent in Lebanon.

Bio

When I was a very young child, I swallowed an ice cube whole. It got stuck in my throat, and my mother had me drink hot tea to melt it away. That started a love affair with tea that has never abated.

I dabbled with Celestial Seasonings and other grocery store teabags for awhile, in my young and foolish days. But a few years ago, I received a tea of the month subscription from Adagio, and I found that there was a whole other world of tea out there that I had never experienced.

I love drinking tea, and I love the personal ceremony of making a glass or pot of tea for myself. It’s like a meditation.
