Cuppageek Tea Advent Day 9
Yaaaay! I was hoping for Vanilla Peach and Vanilla Black, and today I pulled Vanilla Peach.
This was, once again, my breakfast tea. On the packages where I can see the leaves from the back, I am saving the ones that appear to be herbal for evening tea with my husband so he can try them, too.
I will agree with derk’s housemate that this is a nice, brisk tea and very suitable for breakfast. I drank it without milk or sugar, as usual. The peach flavor is light and the vanilla is warm but not heavy and not super strong. I really mostly taste the tea base.
It reminds me a bit of a vanilla black from Nina’s Paris years ago that, at the time, felt like a vanilla tea for real grown ups, not something you would feel equally comfortable giving to a child. This is grown up tea with grown up vanilla, not candy-ish or desserty like the ones I had tried up to then.
I think it was a good choice to have with my waffles and maple syrup. Yes, I have really been stuck on those lately but I swear I plan to shake it up a little and have oatmeal or something tomorrow. I just got super burned out on eggs and bagels are special weekend breakfast so I am flailing about the kitchen lately trying to find something that sounds good.

ashmanra To jettison the Breakfast Doldrums how about quiche, a strata, breakfast burritos or a Dutch Baby? https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Dutch-baby-322023?prm-v1
Frittata! :3
I made waffles this morning after reading about them in your notes! Also, Dutch Babies are delicious!
Oh, I haven’t had a Dutch Baby in a long time! Good choice!
Frittata are nice. I usually do those at supper!
Here is a frittata from one of my favorite bloggers that would be lovely for supper-https://smittenkitchen.com/2020/12/brussels-sprout-and-bacon-frittata/?utm_source=bloglovin.com&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+smittenkitchen+%28smitten+kitchen%29
I love frittata for dinner, so easy and yummy, and you can put anything in it. I love to add cherry tomatoes especially. Now I’m hungry…
That recipe looks good, White Antlers! And an asparagus recipe popped up at the bottom that also intrigues me.
