How Do You Take Your Tea? {First Three Comments Win!}

I am a southern girl, so until about 6 years ago I thought the only way to drink tea was iced and with LOTS of sugar! Boy did I have a lot to learn!

When I moved to Cape Cod I found that women actually enjoyed drinking tea hot, and some even took it without sugar :) . I was shocked, and knew that I would have them converted to sweet tea before long, but it was the other way around. Not to say that my friends didn’t enjoy my sweet tea, but I found that drinking hot tea was actually relaxing and a lot less like the sugar water I was accustomed to.

Now I love enjoying a cup of hot tea with muffins or coffee cake. I don’t know what it is about fruit teas like the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit White Mangosteen and Peach that make me want Apple Cinnamon Pecan Muffins, but what a pair! I love these new teas because they are very subtle (with a name like Superfruit, you never know!) and smooth on your palate. Warm muffins and hot tea are the perfect combo! Now just give me my Bible and prayer journal and you have my favorite morning routine.

So what about you? Are you a southern girl who only likes it sweet and cold, or do you like it hot and relaxing? I’d love to hear what your favorite “tea foods” are!

The first 3 people to comment below will get a box of Lipton Green Tea to try for yourself!!

Now that I have shared what I would pair with these refreshing Lipton Green Tea Superfruits, I want to know, how do you enjoy your tea?
