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!
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…
Maybe you’re like me and Valentine’s this year has just crept up on you, and before you realised it’s here. In a panic about getting a last minute Valentine’s gift for your loved one? Or maybe you’ve spent so long looking for the perfect gift you’ve completely forgotten to buy anything! It happens to the…
It’s crazy to think that Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, especially when it feels like Christmas was only the other day. I’m not really a big Valentine’s Day person, and actually I think in the past 5 years that Chris and I have been together we’ve only ever really done something once…
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…
A few months ago way back in July during the middle of a heatwave, my friend Gemma invited me out for afternoon tea at Moggerhanger Park. She wrote this amazing blog post on the experience, and because I’m a terrible person who can’t write about things after they’ve recently happened, I’m writing about the whole experience now, in October….
Since moving out of my parents house 4 months ago I’m a changed woman, I now like to cook. I now own several recipe books that aren’t just gathering dust, or propping up wonky chairs, and actually use them. Not only do I like cooking, but I’ve discovered that I’m kind of good at it,…
