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.

The other day I took my mom to get her hair done (in a different town then we live in). I was super excited to go to this tea store that has a special pumpkin horchata. I've never had it, but I love both those things. Last time I went turns out I forgot my wallet, after I ordered of course 😥, embarrassing. This time I was prepared! BUT! 😥 nothing seemed to be open in the downtown area on Monday. My soul was crushed. The building next to mom's hair is a coffee shop so I got this mexican hot chocolate. I of course had to take it up to mom and show off, to make her jealous. ( usually they have drinks up there so I didn't think she'd actually need anything) I was rewarded with my gluttony by getting sickly from drinking too much milk too fast haha. 

Last night we went to a concert and got Applebee's afterwards. This is the poppin Shirly Temple. It had pop rocks in it.

@Samtian That pop rocks Shirly Temple sounds so fun!

[caitbird]

@Samtian  these both sound so fun! I love Shirley Temples! I don't drink anything alcoholic so on the rare occasions I go out for dinner at a sit down restaurant, I like to get a Shirley Temple as a special treat 😂

These look sooo tasty, @Samtian ! 😍  I understand your pain with milk.  I'm lactose intolerant. 🫩

[Samtian]

@Titian06 They were delicious! I'm sorry 😞

I have been drinking more tea lately, as I always seem to around the fall season. Here are a few recent teas I've enjoyed. 💜

I didn't get photos of all my drinks from our state fair, but here are the ones I remembered.

Not good hahaPeache's N Dream SmoothiePrickly Pear and Cherry whipped lemonade.

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian they ALL sound yummy!

[caitbird]

@Samtian  ooh these sound so interesting, especially that last one! Did you like them? I need to try more interesting and different drinks!

[Samtian]

@caitbird Yep! The cotton candy smoothie I probably wouldn't get again though. 

[Titian06]

These sound tasty, @Samtian ! 🍑🍒🧋

[itsfi]

Oh, prickly pear & cherry whipped lemonade? This is the first I've heard of that @Samtian. It sounds like the flavors might balance each other - not too sweet not too tart? Is that right? Did you like it?

[Samtian]

@itsfi Definitely tart haha, which I love!

I’ve got a cup of cinnamon rooibos tea. No milk or sugar, just warm and naturally sweet. Since being diagnosed with diabetes, I’ve cut back on sugary drinks. Of course, I get Mounjaro online and take it as prescribed, but I still need to monitor my diet thoroughly. Herbal teas have been a comforting and blood-sugar-friendly alternative. Cheers to cozy, healthy sips!

Love a cozy cup of tea @axelg. Cinnamon has some good health benefits and smells so good, too!

[Titian06]

This sounds good, @axelg ! 🫖

Today's morning cuppa - I felt like having something a bit fruity this time, so this is what I chose. My favorite mug had yet another mishap, but my sweet mom repaired it again for me, so it is back in action!

[caitbird]

Morning cup of tea + mindful moment to calm my nerves before a big day. My first time trying tea by this brand, Tea Forte - I got a fancy sampler of their tea at HomeGoods recently. It was good, not bitter but not too fruity sweet either.

I only drink tea in the morning, and lately I've been really enjoying peppermint tea. Although before I couldn't imagine spending a day without a latte with a bunch of sweet toppings. But now I've reconsidered my approach to consuming all things sweet and try to support my body with the necessary vitamins from  Canada Pharmacy Partner . I understand that sometimes you can indulge in something tasty and even quite high in calories, but if you want your body to get the good elements, then it's better to watch what you eat.

@caitbird that is an interesting blend for tea.  Love the mug

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  thank you! I got the mug from Sweet Water Decor, it's one of my favorites.
