I'm a coffee girl; and a cola girl. I don't go buying milk tea back in the Philippines, even if it's the craze back then. Not because I don't like the taste, although I find it too sweet and honestly? Expensive!
People here love tea! Whether it's a herbal tea, milk tea or iced lemon tea. Each meal is commonly paired with tea.
After coming here, we kinda fell into this habit of having hot tea before going to bed. It started when hubby had constant stomachache. He's acidic, so coffee is out. And noone wants to take bland hot water.
With some experiment, we came up with a recipe. Ginger tea with honey, topped with a Lipton tea bag. The ginger soothes the stomach by reducing gas, honey for sweetness, and the tea bag, for flavor.
Now, everytime we relax in front of the TV--after dinner and excercise--we have tea. Sometimes, paired with a cake or a daifuku.
Try it sometime. I normally have a 1L flask where I put sliced ginger and hot water to let the ginger steep. So everytime we want tea, a brew is available.
