Tea With Milk

Published by

I know the English do it and many Americans (like my friend Carolyn) but the thought of putting milk or half and half in tea really confused me for years. However, I recently decided to give up coffee and drink all the tea I keep buying but never seem to drink. Here are a few teas I’ve been loving and a few others I tried. Teas With Half & Half or Milk Twinings English Breakfast Tea I learned from Anglophenia that English breakfast tea with half and half (or milk or whipping cream) is delicious. I of course use two Splendas. They refer to tea with sugar and cream as a “builder’s brew.” I also learned dunking a digestive biscuit is also amazing! You can also get those digestive biscuits at World Market. Republic of Tea Strawberry Chocolate You’ve probably seen this tea on a post or two before. However, add two Splendas and a little half and half, and you have a whole new experience. This is my dessert. I also drink this without sugar or …

Opinions on Teas

I was at Barnes and Noble the other night and found all of their holiday items on sale. I thought I had done a review of the Holiday Tea from Harney & Sons Fine Teas that Kitchens, Design and Utilize introduced me to years ago and frantically looked at my blog trying to find out what I had rated it because it was on sale. Thankfully, after a few text messages, I was reminded of this tea’s deliciousness and grabbed a tin. This is such a great tasting tea that of course I sweeten but I am sure for those who do not require their beverages ridiculously sweet, will also like it without sweetener. This is a black tea spiced with orange peel, almond, clove, and cinnamon. The packaging is so pretty and the tea is individually wrapped in sachets (30 per tin). On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this tea a 9. It smells and tastes really good. I am not joking when I say this tea is amazing. I love The Republic of …
