• Tetley Tea Cold Infusions Strawberry & Watermelon

    Review | Tetley Tea Cold Infusions

    Hi Everyone!

    Today, I’m reviewing the Tetley Tea Cold Infusions which are “flavoured herbal tea water enhancers.”

    Tetley Cold Infusions herbal infusers are specially created to be brewed in cold water. Simply drop in your water bottle (or glass or pitcher), shake or stir and go. No mess – no fuss – just great tasting water!

    There are 3 flavours available:

    • Strawberry & Watermelon
      • Ingredients: Hibiscus, Sweet Blackberry Leaves, Natural Flavours, Strawberries
    • Raspberry & Cranberry
      • Ingredients: Hibiscus, Natural Flavours, Raspberries, Cranberries
    • Mint, Lemon & Cucumber
      • Ingredients: White Hibiscus, Peppermint Leaves, Apples, Natural Flavours, Roasted Chicory Root, Cucumber

    It’s great that there’s no sugar added and they’re caffeine-free. It’s definitely more convenient to infuse it in cold water. You don’t have to do the extra steps of boiling water. It’s great if you’re going out for the day and you can just throw it into your cold water.

    I was sent two: Strawberry & Watermelon and Raspberry & Cranberry teas. The raspberry & cranberry had a bit of a medicinal taste that I wasn’t fond of, so I preferred the strawberry & watermelon. I think the mint, lemon & cucumber one would be refreshing, but that’s easier to make by yourself and you can control the amount of each ingredient.

    I will start by saying that I’m not a huge fan of strawberry-flavoured teas. I’m a bit particular when it comes to fruity teas. I prefer mint and green teas. From Tetley, I like the Lychee Pear Green Tea and the Super Herbal Sunshine Tea – Lemon & Orange with Vitamin D.

    I tried adding club soda to the teas to add some fizz, but it didn’t really do much. Actually, the fizziness overpowered it. So, I tried something else. I made it into a slushie by blending the tea with frozen strawberries and ice. I also added a splash of club soda (I think it was too much club soda the first time). It’s similar to a strawberry daiquiri. For those who are of legal age, you can add a bit of rum to make it more like a daiquiri.

    RATING: 2.5/5

    Honestly, I didn’t love the flavours I tried, but I would consider trying the mint, lemon & cucumber one and any others they come up with in the future.

    Have you tried the Tetley Tea Cold Infusions?

    Hi Everyone!

    Today, I’m sharing non-beauty favourites since I haven’t bought makeup in a while. I did just make a Sephora skincare/hair order so hopefully I have some new favourites for you in the next couple months as I test them out.

    Food

    Gordon Ramsay’s Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon on Croissants

    Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Dijon Mustard Aioli

    Workout

    Pamela Reif No Equipment Workout Videos – My sister recently shared some workout videos that she’s been following and I’ve been working out to them. I’m starting out slowly because it’s been a while since I exercised. I like that she doesn’t talk and it gets straight into the workout. She has some warm up dancing videos to get you started.

    Entertainment

    I had a video chat with my cousins and we played some games which were fun.

    On Twitter, I’ve been following various accounts that make me smile. The Shedd Aquarium has been fun to follow because they post videos of their penguins exploring other parts of the aquarium. I think any stories in the news that have animals cheer you up. Also, cute stories with grandparents and/or kids cheer me up too.

    What have you been loving lately?

    Love,
