Today is National Iced Tea and Herbs & Spices Day!
That's right! Today you get two! Is it a coincidence these two share a day? Probably not.
The two go so well together. I have to admit, I'm pretty stoked about sharing this one!
We are admittedly a household of iced tea gurus. We have definitely tried a wide variety. We don't buy soda/pop for the house, so other than water or occasional juice, it's milk or tea for my kids(coffee for Momma). We are outside pretty much all Spring and Summer so, iced tea is a nice refresher. We also have the notorious debate...sweet or unsweet?
I choose the latter. I'm the unsweet kind of gal. I feel like the herbs, fruit, flavors, some even have syrups, that add plenty of sweetness for me.
I love trying new teas. All the flavor combos to choose from or even brewing some at home and adding your own herbs.
If you grow them fresh, even better!
The most common of the "tea herbs" are Lavender, Lemon Verbena, Mint, Chamomile, and Jasmine.
I haven't forgotten to add some spices to your tea adventure.
The most used spices for tea are Cinnamon, Ginger, Mint, Cardamom(I love a good Chai tea), and Clove.
What is your favorite or go-to tea?
Do you have a combo we should try?
Whether you've never really gotten into tea or you're feeling adventurous, here are some great ideas to look into. The choices could go on and on!
Let me know what you find!
Happy National Iced Tea and Herbs & Spices Day!
