Mmmm, I tried a new messy twist today.
I had this baby iced, but rather than discarding the papaya with the used leaves I dug them out, rinsed them off and put them into the iced cup, they continued to steep as the morning wore on and beat out the chicory taste.
Still my favourite week day pick me up!
I love to read and what goes better with reading than a hot cup of tea on rainy winter nights and an ice-cold tea on a hot summers day?
I used to drink copious amounts of coffee but that was just a joke, because I never drank enough water to flush out that one cup of coffee (32oz of water to 8oz of coffee?!?) and the variety in tea gives me what I need – it is not often I will drink the same thing twice.
Tea is defiantly more gentle on the waistline… Espcially since when I crave apple pie I can reach for a cup of “Mom’s Apple pie” or if I want caramel corn for my movie night, I just have to brew a cup of “Movie Night”…
I definitely have a preference for Oolongs, flavoured Blacks and a select number of flavoured Rooibos.
I love you tea, this can only get better as the extra weight continues to tapper off!
Oh, did I mention I am a reader, a childcare worker, a teacher, a friend, a sister and so many other things in a day?

I love your recycling plan! I intend to use it myself :)
It makes for a sweeter tea without any sugar or honey or agave! Today was the second day I’ve done it and it was delish!
