Overboard Traveling tea box
Well yesterday’s tea hiatus really worked because this morning, my throat finally feels normal again and hopefully it will stay that way knock on wood! I’m so bummed that I missed out on many of the Butiki teas that I wanted to try before they were in the process of closing and before I knew it, the one I would have wanted to stock up on was sold out (the Pistacho Ice Cream one). I almost made orders so many times but then I would look at my overflowing cabinet and just couldn’t do it; plus, I have this free shipping ""issue"" and $75 of tea is a lot. Anyway, this was on my wishlist because I love pumpkin teas, especially Davidstea Pumpkin Chai. I can actually taste the flavoring before adding sweetener in this blend, which is always appreciated but I added some anyway and it makes the caramel really pop. I bet this would make an awesome latte.
Sad to see Butiki go before I could restock some favorites that I discovered through swapping, but like this box, hopefully some of the blends will be shared for a little while longer, but I will be keeping the rest of this sample.

Oh my goodness, so I remembered I had bought a couple boxes of Aspen Powdered Eggnog mix (which at 80 calories for 3 tsp is far less than regular eggnog when prepared with skim milk!) when World Market had them on sale. I heated up some skim milk in the microwave, added 2 tsp of the eggnog mix and the resteep of the Pumpkin Creme Brulee and a tiny bit of sweetener since I didn’t do the full 3 tsp of the eggnog mix. I used my trusty Ikea frother and wow, eggnog latte. But even better, pumpkin creme tea eggnog latte. So good. If you have a World Market nearby and like eggnog lattes and watch your calorie intake (cause eggnog is extra caloric – even if it is delicious), give this a try. Mmmm.

There are a few herbal teas that can help with heartburn. I looked into it because I got heartburn while pregnant. Chamomile was the most helpful for me. Mint makes heartburn either better or worse depending on the person (it made things worse for me). Marshmallow is supposed to help as well, but it’s harder to find. There’s actually a heartburn tea in the Herbal TTB that you might want to try. If it works for you, let me know and I can send you the other two boxes I have.
@rosebudmelissa: I saw that and am eager to give it a try! I don’t get it often, but enough black tea on a more or less empty stomach usually gets me (reduced appetite is a side effect of a medication I’m on so for a day there, I had way too much tea and not enough food).
