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!
Ah Christmas time, my favourite time of the year. And do you know what I love the most about Christmas? The food! Pigs in blankets, mince pies, gingerbread, you name it and I love it! Of course with all the amazing Christmas food available I always end up eating far too much, and find myself…
I live about 20 minutes away from the town of St Albans, a gorgeous city full of adorable coffee shops and amazing looking restaurants, all of which I want to explore more of. And last week I was invited along to experience one of St Albans newest Thai restaurants, Busaba, and was invited to their launch…
I’m usually much more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, unless its a flavoured coffee. I’m a big fan of Costa and Starbucks’s flavoured lattes, especially when they’ve got their Christmas ranges out this time of year. Only problem with them is when you think about the amount of milk, and flavoured syrup…
At the weekend I went to stay in London as an early birthday treat from my parents. While my dad had uni on the Saturday, my mum said she’d take me to see anything I wanted to see while we were there, I chose a visit to Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium. Mum really couldn’t understand…
A few weeks ago now I met up with a few of my Cambridge friends Laura and Pippa, as well as meeting Sophie for the first time. The original plan was for a few of us Camb Meetup girls to meet up and go for lunch, but a few people dropped out so it ended up just being us four. Despite there only…
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…
