i just found some milk tea at the asian grocer by my house, and it is so delicious! probably not that great for me, since the first ingredients are sugar and milk powder, but it is so delicious its worth it

It occurred to me that I can make it myself, with fresh mint and ginger. I'll definitely try it. I just bought a new box of Clipper white tea (a British brand that I've never seen in North America). They make fair trade/ organic tea in unbleached bags- many variations of white, green, and rooibos, and possibly others.

QUOTE(edie52 @ Dec 8 2007, 03:47 AM)  Oooh! White tea is one of my favorite teas (along with rooibos), and mint and ginger are 2 of my fave herbal tea ingredients. Too bad I can't find Stash tea where I live now. I'm curious about the pumpkin spice, too. But less so. My boyfriend is uninterested in white tea, and he hates peppermint and ginger, so I have the whole box to myself! I tried the pumpkin spice kind with sugar and pumpkin-soymilk. It was alright. |

faerietails2,
I'm not sure. It's across the street from The Custard King on Mott (I think). I should be hitting Chinatown soon, I'll verify and get back to you. |

I just discovered 2 new Stash flavors today- "white christmas" and "pumpkin spice." White xmas is white tea wit peppermint and ginger; and pumpkin spice is black tea with nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and pumpkin flavor. So it's kind of chai-ey.
I'm trying the xmas tea right now with a teaspoon of agave and it's really good. I've never put peppermint and ginger together before. |

Hey eilleen, what's the name of that shop? I'll have to check it out some time.
I'm beside myself with glee right now. I ordered a whole bunch of teas from The Tea Table on Monday. This was my first order with them, and I'll definitely be doing business again. They got my order shipped within 30 minutes of me ordering, and they offer up to 5 free samples per order (which I totally took advantage of!). I got a tea that supposedly tastes like butter cookies. I don't know if that's gross or not, but I'm a total pig and found that fascinating. lol We'll see how it is. Of my old order, the rooibos jasmine and the white grapefruit are my faves. I could drink them all day long. -------------------- |

I have an obsession with jasmine green tea from a particular shop in Chinatown, NYC. I can be in the middle of the roughest day of the week, but with one sip, I am enveloped in pure comfort. I should brew a cup now...

Thanks Pepper. Because I tried so hard to achieve this pregnancy, I'm probably overboard careful about protecting it. Plus, a neuro-scientist friend of mine suggested that I not drink any teas while pregnant because of the unknown effects it may cause to the developing fetus. So, for now, I'm content with my hot lemon/ginger/honey water. Chai does sound absolutely yummy though. I might ask about the ingredients before I make it. Thanks for the link.

mmm. . . all this chai talk. yummy. i'm pregnant right now so not drinking teas. But my favorite way to drink chai is as a latte. make the chai (spicy kind) as you would, with half milk, half chai. throw in a coupla shots of your favorite espresso. how yummy!
