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.

Today's cup of tea:

Favorite mug rides again! The tea is Masala Chai from Kenya and was a gift from some neighbors I pet sit for. I also added some Chai Spice Honey. It was very good!

This combo sounds delicious @caitbird! Yaaaaay, your favorite mug is back in action! 🙌 Such a great mug! Your mom did a great job of mending your mug back to life! 👍 Good job, caitbird's mom!

[caitbird]

@itsfi  thank you! Yes, my mom did a great job, I was so happy she was able to fix it! The mug was a gift from my dad and it just suits me perfectly, so I would have been sad to lose it.

I'm glad your fave mug is back, @caitbird ! 🥳  Masala Chai is my fave, though I haven't tried this one specially. 

[caitbird]

@Titian06  Mom and her ceramic glue to the rescue! What can I say, it is a sentimental favorite.

Sparkling Earl Grey Grapefruit Iced Tea

The vending machine at my work sells these. It was my first time trying it. I love earl grey tea and thought it would be fun to try. I like the combination of flavours and it was not too sweet. Only 4 grams of sugar!  It was a nice treat 🧊🫖

I love grapefruit that looks so refreshing @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thanks! It was a tasty, refreshing treat!

We went to a new tea shop for Mother’s Day.

Pomelo Mango and Brown Sugar boba.

The pomelo was so good- it was made with coconut milk.

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Happy belated Mother's Day! I love Boba tea! I bet it was good with coconut milk. I will try it with that next time I get it 🥥

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Why thank you- may every day this year be a sweet Mother's Day to you!

Today's afternoon tea: Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset, which is one of my favorites. This time I spiced it up (pun intended 😜) with a tiny bit of Mike's Hot Honey. I spent some time today cleaning my room and one of the things I did was reorganize my big box of tea so that everything is in one place and I can see it all easily. I definitely rediscovered some things I'd forgotten about!

[Ispend2much6]

@caitbird  Love Harney’s, and that’s a brilliant idea to use hot honey in tea!

I’m in an organizing mode also, and went through my tea a couple of months ago.

A year ago or so I had stocked up and ordered tea from the UK and France because the really good tea was cheap as the exchange rate was equal to the USD. And then I had to cut back on caffeine…😂

[peculiarzmakeup]

That sounds amazing, very flavorful and relaxing that mug is absolutely amazing! Hope you enjoyed🫶 @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@peculiarzmakeup  thank you! 😊 yes, it was very tasty!

[Titian06]

The tea sounds tasty and in a pretty mug too, @caitbird !  A win all around! ☕

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you! The tea was quite good. The mug is one of my mom's from the local thrift store.

[caitbird]

This morning's tea: cranberry blood orange with a bit of white honey. Very tasty!

[itsfi]

Good morning, coffee! I've missed you. ☕

I haven't had coffee for a few days so this morning's was especially delicious. ❤️
