August Sipdown Prompt – Lazy Day: make an easy peasy tea

What could be more easy peasy than plopping a couple of sachets into a pot? And forgetting to set a timer?

I guesstimated time remaining and the tea turned out fine. I still have a lot of sachets in the tin, and I like this tea but I doubt I will repurchase. Ashman does not like rose in tea so this only gets attention when I am having tea alone.

Since I do like rose in tea, I have a lot of teas with rose and it gets overwhelming looking at needing to sip down that many by yourself. I have Harney Rose Scented, Czar Nikolas St. Valentine, Lupicia Yume, and probably more. I have finished two tins not long ago by making rose black tea ice cream, which Ashman and my neighbor love, so I will use up some of it that way probably.

This one is rose and caramel, and the rose is pretty forward. I don’t sweeten my tea much, but I bet sugar would bring out the caramel notes more.

Oooh, rose tea ice cream! That sounds amazing.

It was delish! I was copying a recipe from a little local-ish ice cream place. It had chopped pecans in it and was sprinkled with dried petals on top. Beautiful and tasty!

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
