Today's Effort: Iced Chai from The Bean near Union Square.
Verdict: Tastes like pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I thought it was delicious at first, but I didn't end up finishing it.
Extra Crunch: The baby cockroach creeping up the wall as I sipped my tea concoction certainly didn't help anything.
You should definitely keep trying tea!
ReplyDeleteI like green tea because it has antioxidants and caffeine (plus it tastes much better than coffee!) Brand-wise, I'm not sure because my dad sends it to me from Asia.
You should also try Emergen-C - I've heard it gives people a burst of energy but it's never worked for me.
Grace - Do you drink your green tea hot or cold? Anything extra in it or just tea, straight up?
ReplyDeleteI like to drink hot green tea (and sometimes I'll mix in a bag of jasmine tea, too!)
ReplyDeleteFor cold teas, I like black tea - it's actually okay at Starbucks.Another thing I do for extra caffeine: I buy ginseng and soak it in hot water and drink it slowly - very little taste but it gives me a good energy boost!
