Pumpkin Spiced Iced Chai Latte

Pumpkin spiced chai latte

Hello from Melbourne! I’ve been home for about a week now and over the jet lag I had going for the first couple of days! The flight over was looooooong as you can imagine and Joe and I pretty much didn’t sleep at all (seriously I don’t understand how some people can sleep for the entire flight!). So yeh the first couple of days I was feeling a bit loopy and just in a daze but as I said that’s passed!

We were greeted with warm weather when we arrived, in fact one day it reached 36C/96F but true to Melbourne weather the last few days it we had showers and cold weather! It went down to 8C/46F!!! I had forgotten how unpredictable Melbourne weather can be… luckily I packed a couple of warm things. Today the weather is better and hopefully we will be getting more of that summer sun that I desperately need, because I’m going to need it before I get back to England! [Read more…]

Rooibos Tea Latte

As some of you may know I had to give up drinking coffee a while back. I still have it occasionally here and there if I’m out somewhere and usually it’s an espresso, but I stopped buying and drinking coffee at home a while back. I do sometimes miss having it in the mornings, especially now that the weather is cooling down but luckily I also really love my tea!

Recently I was at our local supermarket and they had a whole bunch of different teas on sale so I grabbed some and now I have a cupboard full of teas to enjoy! My favourite lately has been roobios tea… which as it turns out is a great caffeine free alternative to coffee.

My latest obsession has been to make roobios tea lattes and now that pumpkin season is here I’ve been adding pumpkin spice to the mix and it tastes GREAT!

So if you’re even in the mood for something different or you’re trying to reduce your coffee intake then give this latte a shot! [Read more…]
