Tea of the Week for October 19. 2020!
The Third Tea of our Trick or Treat Theme for October 2020!
I don’t go to the coffee shops often, but I find that I go more often in the fall than I do any other time of year. There are just so many flavors I’m fond of this time of year. First of all, yeah, I’m totally into the Pumpkin Spice (although I prefer a PS Chai L over the PSL) but I also LOVE the caramel apple cider that the coffee shops have this time of year.
This year, I decided to make my own version of it, using some naturally sweet, nutty rooibos as the base. I added apples & caramel essence, as well as cinnamon, cloves, allspice & a touch of nutmeg & just a bit of vanilla bean to add a creamy element to the caramel essence. The result is a sublime cuppa that can be enjoyed any time of day or night (because – caffeine free!)
Not only is it caffeine-free, but it’s also organic, VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen free! A perfectly delightful treat for fall – this brings me back to trick or treating when I was a kid – our neighbor would always serve warm apple cider for the parents that were walking their kids around the block. Tasty!
organic ingredients: rooibos, apples, cinamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, vanilla bean, calendula petals & natural flavors
