Treat Yourself to the Quality Taste of Adagio Teas-Giveaway

July 30, 2017 by Kathryn 90 Comments

I’m lucky enough to be one of those women that doesn’t have too much trouble with being pregnant, but it does still have its challenges. And one of the smaller, yet still vexing ones, is giving up food and drinks that I love. Thai food gives me heartburn. Sushi can be dangerous for the baby. And, hardest of all…I gave up my beloved coffee!

But rather than spend too much time thinking about how much I missed my favourite lattes, I decided to get reacquainted with another favourite drink: tea! For months, a hot cup of tea in the morning has been my favourite way to start the day, and recently I had the chance to try some delicious new flavours and varieties from Adagio Teas.

When it comes to summer beverages, I love a drink that’s cold, refreshing and healthy. And when that drink can also have zero calories, that’s even better! That’s why I was so excited to try new Pure Leaf Iced Tea. Made with real brewed tea, it comes in three delicious flavours all boasting zero calories per serving! I was challenged to create some fun summer drink combinations using Pure Leaf Iced Tea and I couldn’t wait.

Berry Lemony Iced Tea

Raspberries, blackberries and Pure Leaf Lemon Iced Tea combine to make a refreshing light beverage on a hot summer’s day. I loved the hint of tartness from the lemon, which brought out the sweetness of the summer berries beautifully. This could be made with any combination of berries and be delicious! [Read more…]

Refreshment Comes Naturally with Mighty Leaf Iced Tea-Giveaway

July 16, 2013 by Kathryn 161 Comments

There is nothing better than a cold and refreshing glass of iced tea on a hot summer day, but as much as I love iced tea, it’s something I rarely buy. Premixed iced tea is full of sugar and powdered mixes are no better. I’ve tried making iced tea from scratch but I never really got results that I liked.

This year, Mighty Leaf Tea, a company that specializes in creating one-of-a-kind handmade whole-leaf tea blends in hand-stitched silken pouches, came to my rescue with its delicious Gourmet Iced Tea Set and I couldn’t wait to try it. The Mighty Leaf Iced Tea is available in four thirst-quenching flavours: Organic Black, Calypso Mango, Ginger Peach and Sunburst Green. I wanted to keep things simple at first so I decided to start by making the Organic Black variety.

boys lemonade stand — This past weekend, Zackary decided he wanted to set up a lemonade stand. Or, rather, a dog bone stand, to sell bones to people walking by with their dogs! I convinced him to add iced tea to the inventory as well.

selling iced tea — He did such a good job marketing! He made a sign to wave around and yelled, “HEY!! DO YOU WANT ICED TEA?!” at everyone that passed by.
