I think we should all have green-dyed green tea tomorrow!!!!!

Maxibee · #47 03-17-2005, 01:27 AM

I had one little cup this morning, so I'm catching up now....a 32 oz. glass (a triple) made with 2 plain greens and an Earl Grey green. I just can't get the hang of the Chai green (Stash brand). First one to PM me with their address gets it in the mail! (I just can't stand to waste anything!)

Well, I'm still getting my tea in - may try red soon. DH installed an instant hot water tap - LOVE it! Don't have to wait - it's ready right away - very cool!

LOL Kim...........I've been doing a lot of BLUE green tea lately, LOLOL. But I'm OUT of my blueberry flavor

I have to run to the store today for whipping cream, so I will buy some more BLUE today. YOu should get dibs on Max's offer, you love stash, right???

MK, LOL, that WOULD be appropriate for St. Patty's day, eh?

But it is very expensive.

The red tea mentioned above is from the Rooibos plant in Africa. It has many healthful benefits also and can be combined with green tea for a delightful flavor. It's also good for colicky babies. It is sooooooothing for a good bedtime nightcap. You can drink DECAF green tea also, with the same health and weight loss benefits. I like to get mine at my local Asian market, it's soooooooooo much cheaper than buying it at mainstream stores.

I like to flavor my teas with all sorts of different syrup flavors. OR I will find various flavored green teas and combine for interesting and delightful twists on a theme. For instance, I found Bigelow Lemon green tea and the Celestial Seasonings Blueberry. Those two flavors combine very well. I use a 16 oz mug and brew a bag of each, sweeten with stevia and splenda and am in HEAVEN!!!!!

:silly: We will try that!

had my double this morning...none tonight! Needed to but am drinking water instead.

Maxibee · #52 03-18-2005, 01:36 AM

Thanks, girls....I've got a taker: Renee! I remember her saying she and DP drink this kind, so I'll be UPS-ing it off to her. I think it's the cardamom or licorice or something in it I don't like. I tried it a couple of times and I just can't hang with it!

I was eyeing the teas at Kroger, tempted to buy some more...but I need to use up what I have before I get too crazy with it. Funny, the green tea selections are always the ones that are emptier!
I saw some "Vanilla Red Calm" or something like that. I think it was by CS and it had a Lion on the front of the box. (LOL! No matter how off-plan I get, I always still drink my green tea!)

WooHoo, life is good!

Besides the Green Chai, I've been on a Constant Comment Green in the afternoon kick. Yummy!

Still having trouble getting more cups in, but i might try icing some this weekend and see how that goes.

barb keith · #54 03-19-2005, 12:59 PM

Still getting my 3-4 cups in. Max, that sounds like the Rooibos you are describing. It is REALLY good!!!! My stash of syrups and teas are dwindling. Money is soooooooooo tight right now (Dh hasn't gotten paid for March yet and my hours have been cut down to almost NOTHING.) So I have to make do with what I have on hand. I have plenty of green to last me awhile tho, so no worries.

huskersfan869 · #55 03-19-2005, 01:57 PM

Big mug of blueberrry this morning...throat is not as sore as it has been, but it is still scratchy and I am coughing a lot. I hate colds.

barb keith · #56 03-19-2005, 09:59 PM

I haven't had ANY today............I better go make a double!!!!!

biddy22 · #57 03-19-2005, 10:42 PM

Had my double this morning, and getting ready to settle in with the kids and watch a movie, so think I'll have one with them. I am out of my raspberry flavor syrup, my fav, and our TJMaxx hasn't had it in a while - just hate paying full price for it - I'm going to try to hold out a little longer.

binki · #58 03-20-2005, 01:00 AM

Hi there, can I join your merry band?

I drink at least 3 cups a day, usually more like 4 to 6. I put a cinnamon stick in my mug in the morning and refill all day.

I always have a Constant Comment green first, because the cinnamon flavor can get a little overpowering if I drink that cup slowly, but for the rest of the day it's usually the Lipton greens with flavorings: Mixed Berry, Orange Passionfruit Jasmine, or Lemon Ginseng.

I tend to drink Celestial Seasonings Mandarin Orchard at night, or Carrington's rooibos.

So whaddya say? Mind if I join you in a cup of tea? (But will we both fit?)
