Seems a bit odd to make a tasting note for this as if it’s a normal tea, since I always put it through a moka pot and then use it as a base for lattes.

My favoured drink at the moment is one shot of red espresso and two tablespoons Monin Maple Spice syrup, in hot, frothy milk, with a sprinkle of maple sugar to finish. Perfection.

Also made a good iced tea in the summer: just added to water and ice, then tossed in some peach syrup to taste.

Rooibos Espresso from redespresso

2 “perfect teaspoons”
brewed in ingenuitea abt 2-3 min
added ~2tsp vanilla coconut milk creamer and a dash of cinnamon sugar.
served in bodum travel mug

Very nice latte to go; steamed/frothed milk and vanilla honey would be even better though.

Red Cappuccino from redespresso

At the Green Bean. With honey, plus a slight dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. Yummy, but 12 oz. went down way too quick! I guess I should’ve gotten the larger size.

Red Symphony from redespresso

Enjoyed two Red Symphonies (with side of Snickers Cheesecake) at the Green Bean with my mother to start off a day of celebration for her birthday.

This really hit the spot at last night’s tree lighting and musical stroll downtown. I actually had to wait 20+ min in line at the Green Bean and then another 5 after ordering to get it, and missed most of the band’s set. :-( But I was cold and thirsty and this was very good nonetheless. I had it with honey, no cinnamon.

Custom Red Espresso Treat from redespresso

I decided to do a little science experiment last night and it turned out pretty good! Very Sweet, but good…if I do say so myself!

I did a nice plump helping of this stuff loose with 3/4 mug full of water, 1/4 of milk, a healthy squirt of Agave Nectar, about an 1/8 of a tablespoon of sugar, and two shakes of cinnamon…

It was VERY sweet in every way but pretty smooth, considering. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. A nice treat!

Thought I would do a Red Espresso with Chocolate Soy Milk – ONLY because I had some in the frig I had to use (it was a free sample from Silk in a lunch box size).

I added a squirt of Agave Nectar ‘just because’. I don’t think it’s as good as my first ‘specialty drink’ with red espresso…but it’s drinkable.

Oh yeah…and it’s iced.
