I am drinking a cup of Lemon Zinger from Celestial Seasonings. I just looked at the ingrediants and there is no actual tea in it.
Funny old world.
-
There doesn't seem to be "Tea" in the title either, I wonder if the two are connected?
-
You didn’t see how that box of Lemon Zinger sat there on the shelf amongst the teas suggestively pretending to be just another tea variety.
-
AND it comes in tea bags.
I rest my case.
-
I knew an Enid Lemonzinger many years ago. Hated tea.
-
"Celestial Seasonings" ......you sure it was for a refreshing cup of tea? A name like that suggests other methods of relaxation
-

I rest my case.
Actually, it came in Lemon Zinger bags.
-
I drink tea with two sugars and no milk.
I just wanted to join in.
-
I drank tea with no tea, just to keep you updated on the situation.
-
;D
-
Tea makes me puke! I'm a Nescafe Gold Blend person!

Having one of the same at this very moment...cheers, Vulture!

Just started the Tassimo for a Latte Macchiato with vanilla syrup. Yum!
-
When I ordered Baked Alaska and a Canada Dry, I was stunned to find neither country in either product.
(That joke, with its "local" references, especially crafted for Diane.)

There's posh!
-
But I do drink it from my Beau Peep Mug. :D
-
Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice is pretty wonderful. I happened to mention this on Facebook and our local store has been sold out ever since.
I love coffee too - make the real stuff, real strong in a French press. I would rather drink pretend tea than drink cremated instant coffee.
-
Have you drunk Canada Dry at any time, Diane?
-
Not for years Nige.
I wish I did have a drunken interesting past - it would help with my Toastmaster speeches.
-
Canada Dry is ginger ale, Diane. No wonder you don't have a drunken interesting past.
-
I make my own cafe lattes which are as good as you'll get in any coffee shop and better than most.
Some might say that's a big call, but I can back it up if any of you come to Chez McGookin.
Basically, I use a dripolator (or cafetiere) to brew the coffee to espresso strength (thick black) and only fill the mug to about a third or quarter.
The rest is hot milk, frothed with a milk whisk to satin consistency, this is the bit that takes a little practice. A couple of goes will get you to barista standard and you will never buy sachet or instant again.

Great - I can read that post when I'm having trouble sleeping.

Have we not have this subject before?
I agree with you totally about espresso - I have mine with drinking chocolate (Mocha) but I limit myself to one a day and the other eight cups are Nescafe Gold Blend!
-
Probably have had this one before, it's a soap box issue of mine.
How do you prepare your Mocha? I like to add hot choc powder to boiling water so it's a thick liquid, then pour around the sides of the cup (the insides, before Peeps starts his nonsense) and add the coffee after.
Just a thought.

Why?
-
Because he can.
Malcolm... Me..? Nonsense..? :-\

Yes, more or less like that. I pour hot espresso over two teaspoons of drinking chocolate, mix to a paste, pour on the rest of the coffee then add the zapped skimmed milk, spooning on the foam last. Shake cocoa powder over the top.

I suppose the wine gums wouldn't have helped much either?
-
Not if you mix them with beer gums.
