How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Oolong Tea
Oolong tea is one of my favorite teas to brew… …Why? Because it has a really cool flavor, it helps you lose weight, is a de-stressor, encourages healthy bones & teeth, and gives you energy! Most of the Oolongs I have had the opportunity to try in Canada have a flavor profile similar to that of buttered popcorn to me. However, the exact same tea is lemony to my mother. In essence, they actually range in flavors from...
How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Rooibos Tea
When you’re looking for a non-caffeinated alternative to black tea, Rooibos is the way to go. Rooibos is actually a black tea from South Africa that is naturally non-caffeinated, and it has less tannins in it than black tea does, so it doesn’t stain your teeth in the same way black teas do. Rooibos literally translated means “red bush” and it’s a plant that is broom-like, and in the legume family, believe...

New Starbuck’s Favorite – Tazo Awake Tea Latte
As all of you know, I am a serious tea fanatic! I’ve been off the Chai Latte kick as of late, but still crave hot bevy of tea. So, my new kick at Starbuck’s is the Tazo Awake Tea Latte. I get the venti because they put 2 tea bags in and that makes it nice and strong like I like it. The black tea flavor really comes through because there are no confusing flavor notes to distract. It is sweetened with a simple syrup. Of...
Dear PG Tips Tea…
First of all, I must say I’m your biggest fan!!! My entire family drinks PG Tips Tea. In fact, it was introduced to my family by my English nanny when I was a baby. Her name was Doreen, and like a proper tea-drinking English nanny, she made sure she educated us about good English tea. In fact, she threw out all of our other tea boxes in the entire house and stocked it with PG Tips. We have never used another “plain”,...
How Do You Like Your Morning Tea?
In my opinion, your morning tea is a sacred event, for lack of a better term. Everyone likes it differently, whether it be black tea, green tea or herbal tea. Some people go to the trouble of using loose tea leaves in the morning, but for those of us who aren’t morning people, we typically stick with tea bags simply because it’s easier with your eyes half-way shut! Some prefer sugar, some honey and some add no sweetener....
I Keep Breaking My Glass Tea Pots
This is a small rant I have… I love making tea with loose leaf tea leaves, so of course, I have one of those fabulous glass tea pots for Blooming Tea and loose leaf tea out all the time. The Problem Is: They are so very delicate made with very thin glass that they are not practical for the “normal” household. Why?: Since they are so delicate, they break all the time! We’ve gone through at least 8 of these...
PG Tips Tea & Florida Crystals Combine to Make Odd Flavor
What Does That Mean? Well, I can tell you my story… When I drink black tea, I almost always only drink PG Tips brand, care of my English nanny from when I was a baby. It’s the BEST black tea in existence to me and the people around me! I bring PG Tips tea bags with me when I travel, as you never can find them ANYWHERE!!! So, I buy filtered water at a grocery store and make it at home, where I am staying. This past visit to...

How to Make After 8 Chocolate Mint Iced Tea
This is my husband’s absolute favorite iced tea that I make. I first made it for him when we lived in Iowa, and I had an overabundance of chocolate mint in my garden…It took over, and I needed to figure out a way to use it all up. It is southern-style in that it is a sweet tea. ~ Kimberly Edwards Type: Beverage Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 5 min Serve With: You can make an alcoholic version of this drink by adding 1/2 shot...
How to Brew Kimberly’s Southern-Style Sweet Iced Tea + Video
This is absolutely delicious and my favourite summer drink. I call it southern-style sweet tea because Southerners make wonderful sweet tea, and love it so much. However, my mother has been making wonderful sweet iced tea since I was little, and she is certainly not a southerner! LOL My Story: When I was little, I had an English nanny straight from England. The first time she offered to make my mother a cup of tea, at our house, she...

If you’re looking for that perfect recipe for an Autumn Day, then Peanut Butter Banana Chai Drop Cookies is the winner! It’s filled with spiced, peanutty flavor within the beauty of a perfectly delicious banana cookie. Banana cookies have hardly impressed me in the past, as they are usually quite heavy & chewy. This recipe creates a lovely, crispy cookie on the outside, with a light, fluffy inside. Plus, it’s a...
