Loose Leaf Tea- My New Love!


My mother in law has gotten me hooked on making iced teas using loose leaf tea. Ever try it? It is super easy. I love fruity teas, such as a passion fruit blend or blueberry rooibos. Steep your tea, add some raw honey, stevia or xylitol (or a mix!) add your water and chill.

What a perfect refreshing summer drink!

Delicious Iced "Coffee" Beverages!


Ok- this is my newest favorite find. Dandy Blend. It is a coffee substitute, made from the totally water-soluble extracts of three roasted herb roots: dandelion, chicory and sugar beet- and two roasted grains – barley and rye. It is super yummy! And a body cleanser! We tried it recently in this latte style drink (recipe thanks to our friend Amber W!):

Dandy Blend Lattes

3/4 cup boiling water
3 tsp Dandy Blend
1/2 cup organic heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp Global Sweet Xylitol
1/4 tsp Stevia
Ice cubes

Makes one serving. Pair it with Double Tree Inn cookies and you are in heaven.
