  • Green tea ice cream

    This is really a mixture of several different ice creams. I started with this tea ice cream recipe from Norwegian Klikk.no, then I spotted Mac & Cheese’s Earl Grey tea ice cream recipe. And since I was going with green tea, I also found this one by Emeril Lagasse. All of which inspired and made the end result happen.

    I used Kusmi Spearmint Green tea – I sometimes joke that my Master’s thesis was written while on that – but I suspect that I could well have used any other loose leaf tea for an equally interesting result. Or tea bags for a much less messy one…

    Want: Twinings Lady Grey

    Maybe there is something about being a librarian… Most of the places I’ve worked, where there have been a large librarian population – tea breaks have been the norm, not coffee breaks. When I was out on work placement in the UK, I noted that my supervisor and colleagues were adamant that I take my allotted two daily tea breaks. And it was almost as though the heavens would come down if I didn’t.

    (This might have just been about being British, though… Anyone?)

    Even now, we usually have our daily tea break in the afternoon.

    One of my favorite teas is Twinings Lady Grey. The smell of it is simply fantastic – and it tastes quite good too. For someone with a sweet tooth, it is a good way to avoid sugar, as there is a slightly sweet taste to it.

    Anyone else have teas to recommend? I figure we’re heading into the time of year when having hot beverages around is one of the things that makes it bearable.
