It’s been HOT in these parts for far too long. Working from home with no Air-Con has proved…delirious. I’ve been seeking refuge in coffee shops, libraries….and mint. It’s funny how this mighty herb can trick you into feeling a few degrees cooler. I’ve been on an infusion roll, stuffing handfuls of the green machine into water with cucumbers and my latest obsession: Peach Ice Tea.
Summer hold me just a little longer! Wait…you can hold me, but can we make it an even 80 degrees? This 97 business is wilting me something fierce.
I know infusing tea with mint isn’t ground breaking, but it was a revelation of taste for me these past few days. Using herbs in their pure form and making life a little more enjoyable. Simple pleasures people, stop scrolling through your instagram feed and take a moment of good old fashioned time out.
Speaking of time outs and unplugging – let’s throw a patio ice tea party for one (or ten)! Come find me…I’ll be out back.

Question: whenever I see mint combined with fruit, I think of that drinking-orange-juice-after-brushing-your-teeth feeling (aka: death). How do you avoid that with fruit+mint infused teas?

I’ve found that the white peach tea is so mild in the “juice” sense that the dreaded dental factor is not an issue, especially since fresh mint does not taste the same (to me) as spearmint.

You’re designs! Tea! We must be friends! Have you been to The American Tea Room in Beverly Hills? It’s a total treat and they have the best selection of teas paired with knowledgable staff. Bonus – they LOVE bloggers!

I have not been! I think that sounds like a must (being friends included…obviously)
