Today I’m craving something with ginger and
lemon and I think Fresh Ginger tea is the perfect combination that can soothe
my craving. It’s a blend of lemongrass, blueberries, ginger, peppermint,
lemon & black pepper. A little spice and just the right amount of
perfection. Just add some ice and it will make the best ice tea for these hot
summer days.
Now I’m listening to a song that has a
cheerful piece of laidback summer vibe – “That’s All I Need” by Dirty Heads.
It’s a feel good tune, with sweet lyrics that talk about just chilling :D
“There ain't no place I'd rather be/I'm talking bout right here, right
now/That's all I need” and “I love the way it feels when the sun shines down on
me”. Feels like the perfect summer anthem.

I’m in a
great mood right now and this song helped me keep this state longer. I’m
talking about „Cake By The Ocean” by DNCE (if some of you missed Joe Jonas,
here he is). With lyrics filled with obvious sexual innuendos, the track is a
groovy experiment with a mature underlying meaning: "You're a real life
fantasy, you're a real life fantasy, but you're moving so carefully, let's
start living dangerously". Quite a good track that gets stuck in your head
so easily. Seems like such a summer song, although I've been listening to it on
repeat for the past two days and it’s still spring.
Since this
song is so sweet and makes me think of summer, let’s have a tea that does the
same: a blueberry-lemon iced tea. You should always have something cold and
refreshing in your fridge, and this iced tea is a perfect idea. In addition, I
will give you a recipe that will cover you in sweetness all over.
Ingredients:
1 pack of
frozen blueberries
1/2 cup
fresh lemon juice
4 cups
water
4 tbs black
tea
3/4 cup
sugar
Preparation:
Bring the
frozen blueberries and the fresh lemon juice to a boil in a large saucepan,
over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from the
heat and pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, using the back of
a spoon to squeeze out the juice. Discard the solids. Wipe the saucepan clean.
Bring 4
cups of water to a boil in same saucepan; add the black tea and let it stand
for 5 minutes. Remove and discard of the tea leaves. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar and
the blueberry juice mixture. Pour into a pitcher; cover and chill for 1 hour.
Serve over ice.

This month
Weezer dropped a new album and I found a few songs on it that I love. I’m not
going to write about all of them today but just one – „(Girl We Got A) Good
Thing”. I fell in love with it from the first chords and I’m still listening to
it, loving it even more. It’s a happy, go with the flow song that’s in perfect
balance with the summer vibe. And those lyrics that make you feel so good! „Do
you want to fly?” is my favorite. And when „Do you want to face the great
unknown?” lyric comes along and changes your mood, it makes the ideal way for
you to wanna start something new.
So let’s
keep this feeling going and drink a tea full of the same emotions! How about
Star Dust tea? It's a mix of black tea, buckwheat baked, caramelized almonds,
ground almonds, white petals cornflowers. I’m not a big fan of almonds or a fan
at all, but in this tea, somehow, I don’t have a problem with them. Maybe it's
because some of them are caramelized and that just gives it a splendid punch of
sweetness. Yummy!
