We, as mothers often find ourselves with too much to do and not enough of time to take care of ourselves. Teas and drinks help to keep me from snacking but they do take time to prepare. Here is an easy way to have oolong tea ready at your fingertips. I find that when I have these small jars of concentrate in my fridge, I drink much more. My youngest daughter can put the ingredients in the jars and even fill them with hot water using the Keurig. I hope this handy tip will help you in the busyness of life.

London Fog Latte — THM FP

/ glenda1969 / 1 Comment

Crisp, cool, windy days with autumn leaves swirling to the ground call for hot coffee, teas, and lattes. On days like this I find myself reaching for my coffee cup way to often. This creamy London Fog Latte has replaced my afternoon cup of coffee for the time being. I love that it is a Fuel Pull and it is so very tasty, too.

London Fog Latte THM-FP

Heat almond milk and Half N Half together until hot. Combine all ingredients in a wide mouth quart jar and blend with a hand blender until frothy. Serves 1.

*The Latte can be blended in a blender jar but care is needed with the hot tea and milk mixture as it can splash  and cause burns.

Coffee Okra Shake THM FP

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Okra, a super-food and coffee — what do they have in common? Combined together they make a very tasty, filling shake. Added coffee extract helps to mask the okra taste and don’t forget the maple flavoring. It blends together for a wonderful taste.

Smoothie are a refreshing summer treat. This one combines Strawberries and limes with THM Baobab powder  and  THM Whey Protein Powder for an energizing smoothie.

My children love smoothies and for convenience the dry ingredients can be  measured into small jars or plastic containers. All you need to do is blend strawberries, lime juice, almond milk, and a container of dry ingredients and you are all set to go.

Cold-Brewed Coffee — THM S or FP

/ glenda1969 / 6 Comments

Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

Cold-brewed Iced Coffee

  • 4 cups freshly ground coffee
  • 1/3 cup vanilla
  • Cold water to fill gallon jar

Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate.  To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.

This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.

THM-S  1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.

THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen

I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.

I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.

You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.
