Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea.
I'm more of a soda girl myself but you know what I finally discovered today? Tea is tasty! Consider my mind blown *insert explosion noises*.
I've had tea in the past. Hot tea. Iced tea. Room tempt tea. I've just never liked it. But for some odd reason I spent a couple of hours brewing tea this morning. Yes hours. I admit that I have some nasty brewing habits and I get the terminology wrong so I apologize . I steep the tea too long and then dilute it with more water to make enough for the family. Make it sweet and serve it with ice and the entire jug will be gone before the sun sets.
Normally I just use regular Lipton tea bags but this morning I decided to try mixing teas to see how it would taste. So I added a couple of raspberry flavored ones into the batch this time. I know I'm not a genius or anything but when I tasted the tea I kind of flipped out. I "invented" raspberry tea!!!
I then decided to whip up a few batches of singular flavors like pomegranate, blueberry, and wild berry. The pomegranate is amazing. The blue berry is addicting. I might have to make more of that tomorrow. I'm allergic to some of the ingredients in the wild berry so I don't know what it tastes like but it smells like fruit punch and if that's what it tastes like I wouldn't like it anyway.
Having decided that I should learn more about tea I turned to the internet for some insight and now I have questions.
What the heck is bubble tea? I get the concept. A tea and tapioca pearl concoction. But like what does it taste like? Do you eat the pearls? Do they squish in your mouth?
The only way I'll ever know is if I make my own bubble tea. I'll have to make it one of these days because I'm really curious now.
Do you drink tea? What's your favorite? Any recommendations?
