Tea of the Week for August 20, 2018!
When I went into my tea studio to create the caffeine-free tea for August, I actually had a completely different idea in mind; however, I realized that I didn’t have the ingredients I needed for that idea (I thought I did – but no!) So, after arriving into the tea studio and ready to work and I realized I didn’t have the stuff I needed to create the tea I had planned on – I had to do some quick thinking. I grabbed the honeybush and strawberries, marshmallow root & vanilla bean and I started blending.
Now that I sit here, sipping on this, I’m reminded the ‘famous’ Walter Bishop’s Strawberry Milkshake honeybush blend. It tastes a lot like that blend – but it’s a bit … more vanilla than the Strawberry Milkshake. This reminded me more of a strawberry sundae. Like vanilla ice cream topped with strawberries. And – YUM! It’s so good.
This is good served as a hot tea – I found it to be creamy and sweet. The berry flavor comes forward toward the finish of the sip. But it’s even BETTER as an iced tea. The vanilla is creamier and the strawberry flavor is more pronounced. It’s good either way, but much better as an iced tea so I highly recommend trying it that way!
