What’s in your cup?

A companion thread to What's on your plate? 

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.

@JoSometimes I drink and go right to sleep! LOL but if it makes you jittery... maybe time to lay off the caffeine! 

interesting fact I learned... @JoSometimes @sister13 I was told that people who can fall asleep right after caffeine (or a lot of caffeine), they are able to do that because your body tends to shut down and sleep off the caffeine since it can't take it anymore. So it's not a good sign but also depends on your tolerance 😂😂😂

Haha, it reminds me of a Korean restaurant back home in Maryland that was our absolute favorite. My mom would order the iced coffee (Vietnamese style) and the owner would argue with her every time about drinking it too late, but my mom said it didn’t bother her! 🤣🤣🤣 @JoSometimes

@sister13 Ugh… I have a few people in my life who are like that. I’ll never understand it!

In university, I worked at Second Cup (Canadian Starbucks) and became a 5-cups a day kind of person. But I got so jittery, my writing looked like squiggles. I quit coffee and save it only for really early or rough mornings and I can only have it before lunch or I can’t sleep at night.

Impulse buy at TJ Maxx, this Torani syrup. I don’t usually make flavored coffees,but this sounded so good. I made a Nespresso latte with the brown sugar cinnamon syrup infused milk/foam in one of my favorite mugs from the old Teavana.

@sister13  I just ordered this from Amazon today!  I should have taken a short ride instead. 🙂  I'm hoping to match (nearly) Starbucks' Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmilk Espresso.

[sister13]

Oh great!! Let me know how it goes!!! @Ispend2much6 

[JoSometimes]

@sister13 Torani syrups take me back to my days working as a barista. I didn’t know about this particular one though. Sounds yummy!

[sister13]

I was glad to try it for TJ Maxx prices! @JoSometimes 

[jaaayp]

Oooh oooh! I think you and I have similar tastes @sister13 ! I have this syrup! Not a huge fan of cinnamon but I find the brown sugar pops more so I enjoy it 😉 

[sister13]

Oh nice! @jaaayp 

[CynthieLu]

Torani makes yummy fun syrups @sister13 that sounds like a great one. 🙂 nice find!

[sister13]

Yes, it was good to try for a lower price! @CynthieLu 

[CorgiMommy]

@sister13  sounds like a peaceful way to start the day

[sister13]

It was, mostly! @CorgiMommy 

[Titian06]

That sounds really good, @sister13 ! ☕

[sister13]

It was good, though actually a bit more like a red hot/fireball type of cinnamon than real cinnamon if you know what I mean. I was expecting more of a real cinnamon flavor, which I would have preferred, but it was still good. @Titian06
