February Sipdown Prompt – a grocery store tea
No note from me? And I am about to finish our second box of this tea.
We normally drink this hot. We drink it without sweetener, but I needed a caffeine free evening beverage and since it was around 80F today, I decided to get wild and make this sweet and iced. It has a really strong vanilla aroma, so very very cake-like which is what they were aiming for, so BINGO!
I think as a sweet iced tisane, the vanilla comes much more forward and maybe even steps on the lemon a bit, but it is still quite good. I think I do prefer it hot. Next time we drink it will probably be a sipdown, although I may repurchase in the future after the cupboard gets a bit smaller. (I still haven’t added my puerh teas to the cupboard, partly because there is no hurry to drink them down.)

I’ve got some to play with, myself, once the temperature roller coaster favors cold drinks again. Back to the 30’s tomorrow.
Wonder how it would stand up as a chilled latte this summer…
I can add some half and half and let you know!

Tried it, can recommend! We were 81 today and should hit 83 tomorrow. But if it is cold for you, it is probably headed this way.
