Countdown to Catching Up – Tea 10 (Counting Down from 10 to 1!)
What? Countdown to Catching Up? What does that mean? Well, the short story is that I’m behind on getting my teas of the week out so I’m counting down the next 10 teas of the week so that I can get caught up without having to admit just how behind I am because it’s . . . well, it’s embarrassing, quite frankly. If you want the long story & the full explanation, please see my blog post on it here.
So, in short, I am doing a “countdown to catching up” rather than mentioning that this is actually the tea of the week for October 7, because mentioning that makes me feel bad about being so behind, so instead this is Tea 10 in my Countdown to Catching Up!
What a wonderful way to kick off a countdown! This naturally caffeine-free tisane is so tasty! Notes of spice fill the sip – not spicY – but gently, warmly spiced. The way you want an oatmeal cookie to taste – freshly baked with warm, welcoming notes of cinnamon & ginger & just a kiss of nutmeg. Then you get that sweet-tart note of cranberry & the comforting flavor of oatmeal. This is the kind of cookie you want to enjoy with a hot cup of tea & this tea gives you all of that in one cuppa that’s not only tasty – but it’s also organic, vegan, gluten-free & allergen-friendly!
organic ingredients: honeybush, oatmeal, cranberries, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg & natural flavors
to brew: use 3 ½ g of tea to 12 oz of very hot water (freshly filtered water heated to 190°F) & steep for 10 minutes. Strain & enjoy!
serving suggestions: I like this one best served hot with just a drizzle of honey. The honey heightens the notes of spice while delivering a touch of sweetness that you expect in a “cookie”. It’s not required, obviously – but it really does make the cuppa POP!

Countdown to Catching Up – Tea 10 (Counting down from 10 to 1!)
As I’ve mentioned previously – I’m very behind on getting teas out due to my cellulitis. An update on that: My legs are definitely getting better. They are healing, and they don’t hurt nearly as much as they did even last week. About 12 days ago, we were really worried that the infection had gotten worse, but after another round of antibiotics, they seem to be (finally) working & things are improving. Fingers crossed that this continues!
Anyway, because I was way too outraged & embarrassed at how behind I really was, I decided rather than call this a tea of the week (because I don’t even want to admit what month this is from to myself, much less anyone else!) I decided to call it a countdown to catching up! I figure by the time I’ve completed this countdown, I’ll still be a bit behind, but at least it will be a more manageable & easier thing to admit to!
But – anyway – this wonderful caffeine-free tea! Let’s talk about it! It tastes like someone liquified one of my cranberry oatmeal cookies! It’s wonderfully warm & inviting with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger & nutmeg. The cranberry brightens the cup a bit. The oatmeal notes are not overwhelming – but they’re there – enough to say – yep, this tastes like an oatmeal cookie!
Lately, I’ve been finding that most of my tisanes, I prefer cold-brewed. But this is best served hot. I like it with a drizzle of honey – but it’s also quite nice with a teensy bit of brown sugar to bring out that cookie element just a bit more. It’s also good without any sweetener, as I’ve had it several times without, but, I find that the cookie-ish flavors pop just a bit more with a sweetener of some sort.
So glad to hear that you are getting better! Praying for continued healing and return of full strength and health!
@ashmanra – thank you. I appreciate it. It has been a very long, long & difficult journey with this – a lot longer than I would have ever imagined. I’m just really glad I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now. Thanks again!
