We started the day with a big pot of this tea for breakfast, sans additions. Afterwards we were sitting outside just enjoying the weather after all the rain and I made another big pot. It started getting rather cool before we finished it and we were running out of tea drinking steam. The cooler tea had a bit of an edge to it that wasn’t there hot, so I decided to add simple syrup to what remained and put it in the freezer to get cold in time to have it as a sweet tea for lunch.

The tea starting freezing at the sides of the mason jar much faster than I expected so I ended up having a tea slushy and it was so good that I plan to do again in the future!

This is nice and fruity and the ginger keeps it from being a “candy” tea. It was very fresh tasting hot and very refreshing and enjoyable cold.

Sounds lovely! I saw a seasonal blueberry lemon Häagen-Dazs flavor at the supermarket yesterday and was tempted ha ha.

That sounds good! I eat far too much ice cream, but most of it is homemade. I do love some Häagen-Daz, though. There are a few Godivas I will never turn down, too.

I might have to break out the ice cream maker too, now that summer is basically here!

I remember decades ago discovering what is still a favorite combination of mine: Banana Pecan, which was one of the 31 featured by a local ice cream parlor. Haven’t seen it in years. My #2 fave (B&J’s Pistachio Pistachio) seems to have become rare, too. Maybe a home icecream maker will be the best solution for my sweet tooth!

Bio

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…
