Now that our days are (finally) brightening up and becoming warmer there’s nothing I crave more than sitting in outside in the sunshine with something cold to drink. One thing that appealed to me was iced tea. I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, but I’ve never got around to making it myself. So one sunny day I decided to take a chance and make myself a nice jug of the stuff. I always thought making iced tea would be pretty difficult but when Teapigs gave me a recipe to use with some of their amazing flavours of tea, it was actually pretty simple. And at the end of it you get something pretty yummy to drink ;).
First you pick your favourite Teapigs flavour – I chose Superfruit
Pop your tea bag into a mug or heatproof glass
Pour a small amount of hot water (just enough to cover the tea temple) for around 3-5 minutes
Take out the tea bag, top up with cold water, ice and fruit
Enjoy!
And that’s all there is too it! Superfruit was my favourite flavour for iced tea, but a close second was lemon and ginger ;). This is a great recipe that you can make several alterations too, you could even make a couple of cheeky cocktails out of it!
Like many people, some of my new years resolutions are to be a bit healthier and something I’m terrible at is not drinking enough water. I spend most of my days drinking endless cups of tea and diet coke, but never enough water meaning I’m probably actually quite dehydrated. I’m trying to get back into…
I think this is my favourite giveaway I’ve ever done, and I’m pretty jealous that I can’t have all this for myself! If you haven’t guessed already from the photo, I’ve teamed up with Cadbury’s to giveaway this amazing Magic Christmas Hamper. The hamper is made up of a tin of roses, a tin of hero’s,…
It’s no secret that I’m a Lush addict, you only have to look through this blog and you’ll see it mentioned thousands of times. I can’t get enough of their bath bombs, and I constantly have a ‘Lush stash’ tucked away in my bathroom. My friends have even joked that I’m an expert, and often…
A few months ago I discovered Inamo in Soho and discovered how amazing their food was. I didn’t know at the time, but there are two Inamo restaurants, with another one around the corner from Piccadilly Circus. After the amazing experience Chris and I had we knew we had to go back, so when we got invited to try out the new menu…
With the start of the new year, I like many others, jumped on the bandwagon of being healthier and trying to detox a little after the indulgent Christmas season. I’ve never really done a detox before, I’ve always just tried to eat more good stuff and a little less crap, but when I was contacted to see…
December is one of my favourite months because of Christmas, and it’s also the month where it’s completely acceptable to eat a small piece of chocolate everyday for my breakfast, hurrah! Most years I can rely on my mum to get me your typical rubbish chocolate advent calendar, or the occasional Hello Kitty one, but this year she…
