Iced Tea with Gingerbread Cold Foam Sipdown (218)
Necessiteas had a gingerbread pancake tea and this is what I wanted it to taste like. The 52 Teas pancake breakfast is the classic pancake tea that just nails that flavour. Add to that a touch of spiced gingerbread syrup to the cold foam and you get a rich iced beverage that Starbucks would be charging a whole lot for :)
Iced tea with cinnamon brown sugar cold foam Sipdown (220)
This was so good!
The banana is just spot on so paired with the cinnamon and brown sugar cold foam it was like someone brûléed a banana or the fried banana dessert people get at like Brazilian restaurants. Bananas foster. Honestly just all the delicious banana desserts!
Iced Tea with Strawberry Cold Foam Sipdown
Finished this off a few days ago with a strawberry cold foam topper. It was awesome and this tea is just a really nice cinnamon tea. I’m grateful for DAVIDsTEA for gifting it to me to try because I think I’ll be ordering more in the future, whereas I likely wouldn’t have tried this without the company sending some my way.
Made this iced and topped it with strawberry cold foam and it was so good. Check out the pic here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CeY7q3Iu8Ij/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I had 1 serving of toasted marshmallow sweet cream and so I asked Roswell Strange what to pair it with. She suggested a cinnamon heavy chai but this tea came to mind instead. Made it as an iced latte with the sweet cream and it’s honestly so good! Lots of cinnamon offset by the sweet marshmallow cream. It’s honestly like having a campfire inspired ice cream!
Sipdown (221)
Reading a book called Uglies this week so it seemed fun to pair it with a pretty tea. Lookswise, this is beautiful with the rose petals. Taste wise this is just fine. Nothing particularly delicious about it. It’s just a meh cardamom rose tea. There is supposed to be pistachio but flavour wise that wasn’t really there. I am totally consent seeing this one leave my cupboard.

I remember reading the Uglies series in middle school! I feel like I enjoyed the world building, but not the romance, if I remember correctly. I hope you liked it!
It was okay but I feel like I’m done with that type of YA dystopian story
Yeah, I haven’t read any YA since then because my interests moved on to other things, but the dystopian genre definitely seemed to be a popular one in YA for a good decade or so.
I am all over the map with my reading. A bit of YA but mostly other things.
This is sort of gingerbread but also way too sweet to clearly be gingerbread. I want more ginger. I want more banana. It’s clearly a Deb tea but when a lot of the teas are so similar, they lose their appeal slightly.
I am having a really off day and posted my very brief review as part of my Instagram caption. Then I got confused where my review went to I am copy/pasting from that:
I ordered syrups and am back to experimenting with sweet creams. Today I made a toasted marshmallow sweet cream and paired it with this tea. It was mostly a sweet vanilla marshmallow tea, with the spice and toasted element not coming through strongly but keeping this from being overly sweet
How do you make the sweet creams?
The one I did for this was 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup whipping cream and 3 pumps of Torani Toasted Marshmallow syrup
Thanks! I will have to try that. is the milk whole milk – or something else? Would this also work with half & half?
We have 1% so that’s what I normally use. And it might work with half and half. I need to find the recipe I used to make because it would be a sweet cream that you could whip into a cold foam
