I'll have it for a change, because I pretty much drink nothing but tea, and my teeth or stomach will get angry at too much sugar or black tea. It works if I just want something warm.

I've been on a tea kick lately, it's mostly been what I've wanted to drink.

[Ammutseba]

I've been drinking a lot of a sweet raspberry tisane lately.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I've decided that I feel like cinnamon tea right now but alas, I'm out and the stuff was discontinued (you SUCK David!). Might have to learn how to make the stuff, or see if black tea it goes well with certain alcoholic beverages.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Has anyone ever tried steeping those little cinnamon heart candies? Wonder if that would work since that's pretty much what I'm going for.

[Coda]

I've cooked with them. It works, but you're better off just using cinnamon oil -- the candies leave a sludge of binders behind.

[Den]

for cinnamon tea, maybe get the actual cinnamon sticks and steep those in hot water?

[Coda]

I've done that before and it works very well (I got hooked on it one winter), but the flavor is different -- it's a little less sweet, a little less spicy, a little more earthy.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Yeah, it's the slight spicy tinge that I would like. Is it literal sludge that I can just strain from the top?

[Coda]

It's REALLY fine particulate, so it doesn't settle very fast, but IIRC when it settles it settles to the bottom.

You COULD pass it through a coffee filter. That'd work. But a couple drops of cinnamon oil will get you basically the same flavor without the trouble.

I don't care for coffee at all, or anything bitter in that matter. Around the house I just keep the simple, common black teas like English Breakfast. There's this really nifty Asian health-food restaurant down the road a bit that sells this really delicious (and slightly expensive) tea they call "Scent of the Mountain."

I believe it's Japanese. I like that one a lot.

[SparX]

I recently got a new tea =)
It's a Lemon Ginger blend, but it has those little yellow flowers that grow in driveways(or what looks like them) Which intrigued me and hit my childhood nostalgia so I grabbed it.
No idea how it tastes yet though XD
And I got more Wild Orange Blossom Herbal tea and Wild Orange Oolong tea =3

I found some pu'ehr tea while I was out yesterday. It's an orange and ginger deal. Not my favourite, but it's hard to find pu'ehr without going to a specialty store, and not all specialty stores have it.

[Coda]

Pu'erh is hard to find, yeah. But I like it too. There's a tea room in Little Tokyo (about 20 minutes away from me) that serves it.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

The tea is alright. My gut decided to get mad at me so I tried it once I felt brave enough to venture some tea.

I sniffed it before making some. Bad idea, since the tea apparently has some loose ginger powder in it.

I'm havin' some cheap-ass Lemonade Tea by Gold Peak. lol
