A friend sent me some samples of Ginger Lemon Zest recently, and since the bags were so huge and plump with all the goodies inside I pulled out a gallon pitcher thinking that these must make two quarts each, or at least one quart with the possibility of resteeping. Fortunately, I decided to look up the instructions online before boiling my water because each bag is good for just eight to ten ounces! I had to look twice to be sure I wasn’t misreading that!
I used two bags and twenty ounces of water. When I pulled the bags out of the steeping cup, they were limp little bundles with very little left in them! Wow! That’s because much of what had filled the bag was the granulated honey infused with the ginger flavor.
The resulting brew looks like cloudy tea because this herbal mixture has LOTS of honey granules. Have no fear, it is not overly sweet.
I drank a small cup hot before bedtime to help with the reflux and heartburn issues I have been having lately and put the rest in the fridge.
This is really ginger forward, very warm but not unpleasantly hot and spicy, and nicely sweet from the honey. So convenient for carrying with you to work where a jar of honey might make a mess! The lemon myrtle is very light and more on the back of the sip, much gentler than citrus would be, with ginger rising again and lingering after. This would be brilliant to have around for colds and sore throats, not just tender tummies.
I enjoyed this as a relaxing bedtime cuppa but as a Southern gal in the dog days of summer, I am seriously looking forward to mixing this half and half with my sweet black tea on lots of ice!

Decaf Earl Grey from True Honey Teas
True Honey Teas blends its teas with natural honey granules to brew in added sweetness. This one is a decaf earl grey tea, black tea with bergamot citrus and vanilla. I’m glad I tried this, I would not have normally added honey to my earl grey but I like this combination.
The lemon and honey are a classic combination, bright and sweet in equal parts. The tea is rich and full of flavor despite being decaf, and the vanilla pumps up the honey smoothness.
True Honey Teas are perfect for those of you with a sweet tooth, or those who love honey in their tea. The dried honey granules give you a way to store your tea dry, pre-sweetened. Definitely worth a try if you are curious. A fun new take on earl grey.

True Honey Teas Green . . . .
Today my husband asked me for a no nonsense not fru fru simple drinking tea and I knew exactly which tea to brew up for him.
True Honey Teas offer tea drinkers a tea and honey combination in every sip of their teas. In both their K Cups and bagged teas, honey along with sugar has been added in one for or another. And when I say sugar I mean sugar. Not stevia or or any other sweetener. But pure sugar. My husband was quite excited about that fact.
Brewed up with water at around 190F and allowed to steep for 3 minutes, this tea yields a very delicious yet very sweet brew. The honey comes across right away and the green tea base provides that perfect contrast to the sweet honey giving the tea this very satisfying sip each and every time.
I will admit, the honey/sugar is a bit much for me and I find myself only able to drink a cup here or there. I rarely add any sugar or honey to my teas, but the rest of my house devoured this tea after I brewed up a few cuppas. Like DEVOURED it to the point where they are asking me for more. They even asked me to throw a few tea bags into a pitcher to make a batch of sweet iced green tea. Something that I think even I could get on board with.
All in all a great cuppa for sure just one I don’t think I could see as a daily drinker for me personally. This tea blend is simple and to the point. Green Tea sweetened with honey and sugar. Honestly, a great combination for any tea drinker! My family has deemed this tea blend a winner!
