  • Maple Sugar Cookie Hot Toddy

    I’m thinking of doing a new series on the blog called I’m Awesome at Turning Manly Drinks Into Girly Drinks.  Do you like it? Okay, maybe it doesn’t need to be a series. But I am really loving this.  Last year, I got hooked on hot toddys (toddies?) and I loved them.  This year, I…

  • Mint & Honey Tea Slushie

    Back with a quasi-recipe, folks!  I have been sipping on one favorite drink most of the summer: mint and honey tea.  Yes, I eat honey.  Sometimes.  I’m a moody vegan when it comes to honey, I can’t really make up my mind, so I just eat honey where it’s harder to avoid or when I…

  • Busy Woman’s Matcha Latte

    Hi, internet friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was fun, but a little bit busier than I expected!  Preston (the bf) and I babysat his niece and nephew for most of the weekend.  It was a pretty fun weekend filled with lake time, playgrounds, ice cream, and kids movies.  But it was a little ridiculous…

  • Matcha Latte w/ Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup

    I am in LOVE with matcha lattes from Peet’s.  With some vanilla syrup in them. Oh my gosh. But they’re costly.  And I seem to wind up late for work on the days I stop to pick one up 😉 So I figured out how to make them at home!  It’s actually pretty simple.

  • Fennel Spice Green Tea Miso Soup

    I hope you’re not terribly confused by the title of this post as to what I’m actually making.  I made miso soup.  In green tea.  A savory “fennel spice” green tea.  I know, right?

  • Coconut Water Iced Tea

    Meet your go-to summer drink!  I did some major kitchen re-organizing this weekend and ran across my cold-brew iced tea bags from last summer.  Nice timing!  But when I went to my fridge to fill up my pitcher with water, I saw coconut water sitting right next to it.  Hmmmmmm.  A wonderful impulsive creation resulted! …

  • Blueberry Cashew Matcha Smoothie

    Got a quickie recipe for you today – a smoothie with green tea in it!  Yep!   Matcha tea powder blended in a yummy blueberry smoothie will definitely perk you up in the morning.  Plus I’m adding one of my new favorite ingredients, raw cashew butter.  It’s a great way to add some protein in your…

  • New Flora: Sea Lemon + Hot Toddy Recipe

    Look at the crazy thing I found at the farmer’s market this weekend! No, it’s not actually called a sea lemon.  It’s called a fingered citron or a Buddha’s hand.  But the lovely lady at the farmer’s market stand said she likes to name each one individually depending on what it looks like – she…

  • Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review

    I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time.  I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog.   But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat.  So I’ve been waiting.  And now it’s finally time!    

  • Matcha Green Tea Breakfast Truffles

      Now my breakfast truffles come with a little caffeine jolt!   Perhaps now they’re even more ideal fuel for an early-morning workout!
