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!
I love chocolate milk, I’m terrible for it. Whenever I’m out and see the option of chocolate milkshakes, or even in my local corner shop, I just can’t resist it. Luckily I can behave a bit more at home, as we never have any milk in as my mum’s lactose intolerant, so a rare chocolate…
Since I bought my little flat last year I’ve had a little obsession with all things interior design. The minute we started looking for our own place I started annoying Chris with clippings from home magazines, and by the time the sale had gone through, I had a whole Pinterest board full of ideas of…
One of my favourite things to do, is to bake. You may have noticed over the years on this blog that the odd baking recipe comes up every now and then, and really it’s something I’d like to do more of but 1. I’m not a great baker, and 2. I usually eat the cake…
When me and mum went on our recent weekend away to Manchester, after a long day at the Coronation Street Tour we decided we very much needed cocktails. I mean it’s not a girl’s weekend away without cocktails right? Someone had recommended The Alchemist to my mum saying their cocktails were pretty amazing. After a quick search we found it…
Anyone who knows me will know I’m obsessed with tea. I can’t go a day without drinking about 4 cups of the stuff. So when Bluebird Tea Co contacted me asking me to review their Chocolate Tea Lovers Box of course I jumped at the chance! I really love making loose leaf tea before I go to…
We’re now just under a week until Christmas day! While a lot of people are completely organised, others might just have their Christmas wrapping left to do, and then every year there’s always someone who’s left their Christmas shopping until the last minute. If that’s you don’t worry, I’ve got some great last minute gift…
