What’s in your cup?

JoSometimes — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 01:39:51 GMT

A companion thread to

I thought it would fun to share what we’re all drinking. It could be your favourite tea or show of your crowd pleasing cocktail recipes. What’s in your cup?

Right now, I’m enjoying a nice cup of ginger peach tea with milk and honey. It’s nice and calming before bed.

And shout out to the original thread

I kinda found out too late about this and it’s been far too long since it was updated.

I love your Dr. Suess cup!!! 💖💖💖

Now that the heat has picked up, I've been having iced coffee each morning:

1 tsp instant coffee (decaf)

2 tsp hot chocolate

1 tsp turbinado sugar

1/3 c hot water

2/3 c nondairy milk

3 ice cubes

Whisk hot water and dry ingredients until dissolved. Add nondairy milk and ice cubes; stir until ice cubes are half size or smaller. Enjoy. (Adjust any and all ingredients to taste.)

Sounds like a great pick me up first thing in the morning @Titian06!

And thank you! There was a Dr. Seuss experience in town many years ago and I couldn’t leave without a trip through the gift shop. He’s one of my favourite kids book authors.

@JoSometimes very lazy Sunday as it is pouring outside. Where is summer?

@CorgiMommy Sorry to hear it’s raining where you are. We had a sneak peak of summer Thursday and Friday of last week. 30-ish°C (86°F). This weekend has been cooler, perfect for some outdoor time.

I’m always on the look out for new boba/tea shops and a new one opened up near me. Uji matcha on the left (their daily special in a cute mini cup) and Phoenix oolong no sugar with Jasmine jelly on the right.

@SportyGirly125 Boba close to home is always dangerous…

This look delicious and refreshing though! I don’t think I’ve found a place that serves jasmine jelly. It sounds nice and light.

@JoSometimes @There are so many new boba shops where I live and I’m not hating it. Plus more Asian restaurants have popped up in my city. Luckily, my husband who isn’t Asian likes Asian food and drinks.

Another boba place I go to has green tea jelly and it’s amazing.

@SportyGirly125 Jasmine jelly sounds awesome

I love green tea anything so I would be order one with the jelly all the time

I went to a new tea place nearish to me the other day. I love a regular iced black milk tea with boba. This tasted fine and the boba were the perfect consistency but too large for the straw and/or stuck together, so it was really annoying trying to drink it and literally hurt my mouth trying to suck up the boba. I eventually had to take the straw out and drink it from the cup, which is no fun. Now, I can’t find the cup pic, but here was inside. I have a couple other places that do a nice boba every time, so I don’t think I’d go back here.

Omg, that mini cup is adorable! @SportyGirly125

@sister13 @I love that they do daily specials.

Love the name of the cafe @sister13. Too bad about their boba/straw combination though. That’s never fun.

@sister13 Awww so sad to hear about your drink. That’s always a bummer when you can’t drink boba through the straw.

sister13 — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 01:48:35 GMT

@SportyGirly125 @JoSometimes ashes, it’s happened other places (or the ones where the boba is hard), you wouldn’t realize it could be so hard to get all the components right!

@sister13 @JoSometimes @@Hard bobas are the worst.
