Tea anyone?




For many months (since the boys were about 18months old) they have loved "coffee". We order or make them a 'baby chino' (warm frothy milk with chocolate powder on top) when we have a coffee ourself. We have never been tea drinkers.

About 2 weeks ago a friend of Sal's introduced her to fruit tea, and now we love it. Ben is especially taken by having a cup of tea. He knows about tea because his grandma and nana drink tea, but he's never had it before.
This tea is called 'blue bayou' and contains: blueberries, apple, elderberries, blackcurrant leaves, strawberry leaves, hibiscus flowers and rosehip. There isn't any actual tea leaves in this blend. It looks like this



And smells like blackcurrant cordial. It makes a wonderful red tea when brewed.

Both boys enjoy this tea and it is nice to have found a drink that (as far as I can tell) is very low is calories, sugar free, artificial additive free, caffeine free and actually tastes good!

I have yet to try it cold, but will do soon
