Coffee & Tea Talk

I had some Vanilla Chai tea in the afternoon after shovelling because I couldn't find the hot cocoa. Nice and spicy.🫖

Boring... still drinking Peets Holiday Blend with a tsp of maple syrup and almond milk... it is really good. I think I am a Peets fan

Huh, I should try maple syrup instead of sugar in my coffee some time just to see how it tastes.

I think it has to be real maple syrup, and not the imitation type.. I really like the amber colored maple syrup. It has a much deeper flavor---not as sweet.

I never cared for the imitation maple syrup.. but when I was on my special diet, maple syrup was one of the few sweeteners I could use. That was about a year ago. I have been hooked on it ever since.

We have real maple syrup (not amber, though), as a fair number of my meal app recipes call for it. But the container is close to empty, so I'll have to order some next grocery pickup.

I had Lemon Honey Matcha today. Love the flavor.

I'm gonna try this too. We have both real and fake maple syrup. I guess I could try both.

I can't wait until this decaf is gone! On the upside, I am totally detoxed from caffeine, no more headaches from the withdrawal.

Ya, I know what you mean. The headaches from caffeine withdrawal are horrendous. I gave up caffeine completely when I was pregnant and breastfeeding. Not sure why I went back after all that time but happy I did.

While searching through my stash, I found a box of Pumpkin Spice Coffee!

I am going to be alternating my flavors. I have plain, Donut House peppermint spice, DD Pumpkin Spice, raspberry mocha, and SB ground peppermint mocha....and plain decaf...

A good variety!

Today was: Pumpkin Spice with Almond milk, and Plain with the Rum Barrel Aged maple syrup--expensive, and almond milk....

Too cold even for me to venture out today so I found my largest mug and made 2 cups of dark roast coffee. One with breakfast and the other mid-afternoon. A warm drink on a bitter cold day really does the trick!

I had a random bag of blueberry white tea I got from a baby sprinkle a year ago, so I'm having that with a bit of honey since it's so cold outside.

My mother told me today that Coke is making a coffee flavored Coca Cola. She said she tried it and it was pretty good. All I could think was “yuck”!

That sounds good. I wonder if they have a diet version.

 

[Willowy]

This reviewer liked it, I've seen other reviews that didn't though: REVIEW: Coca-Cola with Coffee (Dark Blend and Vanilla) - The Impulsive Buy

It's kind of half-diet, with corn syrup AND acesulfame potassium and sucralose. It doesn't say if they intend to release a full diet version.

 

[maggiedemi]

Sounds good. I would probably try it.
