A new tea-themed journal

 I found most adorable journal at Winners this month.

The cute design caught my eye because it featured two of my favourite fruity summer teas: bananas and watermelon!

Celestial Seasonings' Cold Brew Iced Tea

A few weeks ago, I found Celestial Seasonings Cold Brew Iced Tea at my local Dollar Tree.

A box of 18 tea bags of unsweetened black tea was only $1.50!

The instructions said to to steep 1 or 2 teabags for each 250 ml of cold water for 5 minutes. So I used 2 tea bags in my 16 oz (450 ml) glass. 

The cold brew tea after 5 minutes.

 

It was a pretty weak tea, so next time I'll use 4 tea bags!

Jane Austen Blend

I've been hunting for a creamy jasmine tea, so when Murchie's Tasting Lab released the limited-time Jane Austen blend in July, I hit the checkout button on my cart!

 

The Jane Austen blend was comprised of black tea (Keemun, Ceylon), green tea (Jasmine, Gunpowder), white cornflowers, natural and artificial flavouring.

 Of course, I paired the tea with my Emma teacup!

Murchie's tasting notes said it would have the "sweetness and cream of vanilla", but all I could taste was the jasmine. I added a splash of milk to get a creamier taste.

"I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other."

Matcha Milkshakes

I've been enjoying my matchas as milkshakes this summer!
