Hi Everyone, It's still rather hot here in New Jersey and I find the cooling effect of iced tea to be a beacon of respite on a humid, sunny day.
My daughter M was playing while I was setting up for this shoot and she became interested in what I was doing, then intensely focused, so I just went with her enthusiasm.
I think I have a budding food stylist here!
She was really intent on placing the silverware, cookery, and stirring, all the while being careful and specific - it was amusing and touching for me to watch her.
I was so happy to have her be genuinely involved and interested - as much as a toddler can be!
Fresh raspberries, honey and tea equals a divine combination:
The flavor of the tea is more subtle and delicate than hot brewed tea in my experience.
I try to avoid turning on the oven when it's hot out and this is something that I can prepare the night before and it is so easy to do!
Special Thanks to Traditional Medicinals for providing the tea for this post!
They recently sent me a box of a variety of teas and it was fun trying new flavors.
They are one of my favorite tea brands.
I love that they are Non-GMO and organic.
I have Mother's Milk tea every night after I put M. to sleep.
It's my ritual ever since I came home from the hospital with her.
Below are some photos of cardamom pods that I got when I made rum babas.
They have an almost floral, subtle and warm nuanced scent.
Also, Traditional Medicinals Pregnancy Tea was my special beverage of choice while I was pregnant since I couldn't have coffee during the pregnancy.
I highly recommend their Pregnancy Tea to expectant mothers.
