The Not So New Beverage I Love

As I have stated in a previous blog I am trying to rid myself on the fizziness of soda. This means I am hunting for beverages that are great tasting, noncarbonated and low to no calorie beverages. These requirements make it difficult to find one that meets all of my needs. Oh, did I mention that it also should be caffinee free too? So you can see why I am trying very hard to find something I can have and have a lot of without feeling like I am cheating on my diet. I found a beverage I found but had put to the side because I was weak and went back to the fizzy goodess of Coke Zero.


So I turned to a tea and I feel it lives up to its press...

“Clasp your cup in both hands and inhale deeply. Sweet and indulgent, Lipton® Bavarian Wild Berry Tea tantalizes the senses with its vibrant flavour and robust aroma. Lipton® long-leaf black tea is made from just the two top leaves and the bud. These are carefully blended with real pieces of blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant. Our unique pyramid-shaped transparent bags then allow fruity flavour and fragrance to flow freely for a warm, luxurious infusion.”

I simply love this tea. it has a nice, smooth taste. It does not leave behind a funny tea aftertaste some teas do. I just want to curl up and inhale the sweet smell the tea has. The aroma alone lets me know I am about to sip GREATNESS! The wonderful thing is there are more flavors out there. I have not tried any of the other flavors but I will be as soon as I can pull myself away from my mug of tea. Just a few of them are White Tea with Mango and Peach, Red Tea with Harvest Strawberries and Passionfruit and the one that has me wondering the most is Vanilla Caramel Truffle. I imagine it to be dessert in a cup. It recipe is a latte. This might have to be my next one to sample.

A fun sidenote: If you go to the website it has a comso recipe plus a few food recipes which use this very tea. i might have to bust it out just to try it. I onder if there is such a thing as calorie-free vodka???
