Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Cold and Hot

This week is focused on National Days. *Ha* Starting with today, which is National Frappe Day ! Do you prefer your drinks hot or cold? What kind of blended drinks do you like?

Easy, cold drinks in hot weather and hot drinks in cold weather. I discovered Oat Straw green tea this spring. It is very refreshing iced and good hot. I do like to mix fruit in green tea.

I found Root Beer Tea at Stash a few years ago also very good cold. It has spices mixed in it. However, the U.S food and Drug Administration has banned sassafras roots which can be found in some root beer because it has carcinogens in it. Original root beer was made from sassafras and 16 roots and herbs.

I Have some Orange concentrate from the spice counter at Giant Eagle. Very good mixed in with other fruit juices or teas. I especially like icy drinks. Crushed ice with concentrated syrups. Yum. I used to stop at the library snack shop and buy tea with cherry concentrate when I was going to college. It was the perfect pick me up as I was studying. Later I discovered it also had a lot of calories.

Most of my drinks are plain water with ice or just room temperature water in winter. Not, spectacular but I like water. I'm not flamboyant with drinks. Not really special but cheap.

See Ya!
