I don't have a preferred seasonal drink and regardless of the season, I always look for these two, matcha latte or loose-leaf tea. Otherwise, I'll just pick whatever is available in the cafe, either tea or coffee. Preferably, I like tea combinations in one cup.
What you tell us is interesting, I also like tea and when it's very hot I drink it cold, to cool off. I found "matcha latte" very striking, apparently it's a traditional drink, you'll say.
Thanks for leaving your comment.
Happy weekend.
Thanks..matcha latte can be cold or hot good for summer and cold season.
I must say that it is an irresistible duality.
Happy day!☕
The tea is delicious. I love it especially in the evenings with lemon and nutmeg.
I hope you enjoy your drink.
There isn't a special flavor in your photo that I would like to order. But I guess I would choose latte hehe.
🤭 Well, I'll buy you a latte then. I'll have a Mocaccino is my delirium.
☕☕
I haven't tried the nutmeg tea, a suggestion I'm going to try, you can always try new things.
Thanks for leaving your comment.☕
Good day.
Yes, that's what I think, too!
I don't think I've had nutmeg in my tea ever. That must change! I feel intrigued now. I think it be nice with black tea perhaps; I can start from there 😁
Add a touch of lemon and nutmeg...it's a delight. You will not regret this combination.
I leave you one of my favorite recipes...for you to enjoy.
https://peakd.com/hive-152524/@chacald.dcymt/tea-with-essences-for-women
So nutmeg and lemon juice. Got it! I'll check out that recipe 😁❤️
Yes, that's exactly how I'm used to doing my nutmeg 😁
The flavor contribution is special ☺️
Nutmeg with lemon seems to me to be a good combination 👍🏽
I love nutmeg and I always used the fresh one in Jamaica by grating it. However, when I lived in the Philippines, it was hard to get and even the ground one was more expensive than the other spices. I've only ever had nutmeg with coffee, never with tea. It sounds good though:)))
Here in Venezuela it is very economical and is available in the market. When I lived in Cuba I could not get the spices I like and when someone sold it was very expensive. That's why I like to take advantage of having them at home when I get them.
Nutmeg in tea. I have to try it.
I recommend it...it is a delight.
Oh, I will try it for sure. When I like my coffee a little spicy, I usually add a bit of cardamom.
That is an excellent choice. I had the opportunity to try it once and I liked it.
I'm intrigued. I have some nutmeg, but I've only used it for coffee and hot cocoa so far.
I usually put nutmeg in creams and custards but I have never tried it in tea or coffee. But I will since I am also intrigued to see how it tastes.
And for cakes, sure. Also, white sauces and pastries, and a lot more but never in my tea.
I only use nutmeg for the chicha de arroz and in the bechamel sauce, but it would be interesting to use it in the tea.
I also like tea in the afternoons, but have never tried it with nutmeg. I have been left restless, I think I will have to drink it. Regards @chacald.dcymt
Hi Jane (@jane1289).
Your choice is very good.
I drink tea when it is very hot and it must be extremely iced and at the same time it must be strong.
Although I prefer coffee in general, I've been ordering matcha latte more often than I thought I would. I find it to be so satisfying that I don't need to order a cup of coffee after it, which is what actually happens after I have tea in a coffee shop 😁
Tea combinations sound cool. We often pick hibiscus + lemongrass and add some drops of fresh lemon juice.
That quoted "n" is a gift from Horacia, my cat. She likes to jump on my keyboard 😆
Hibiscus tea seems to be popular in Venezuela. I keep mixing up the hot and cold way, but one way increases the blood pressure and the other lowers it. I would have to look on line to see which is which.
Yeah, I like it with lemon too:)
Oh, I didn't know there was a difference. I can tell you we drink it a lot both hot and cold and we're still alive and kicking. I'll find out about that. Thank you!
And yes,. it is popular here because it's healthy, delicious, cheap and refreshing. I have some flowers in the freezer, but most of the time I buy the leaves.
What is a loose leaf tea? Is that some sort of prepration technique? Sorry for my incompetence about the tea consumption… 😁
Anyway, matcha latte is always good, when prepared well. Best wishes!
No, places like Taiwan with many tea farms use dried tea leaves and a strainer to make their tea. It's just larger particles of the tea leaves that are not ground, that are used to make the tea. Sometimes they place them in bags too, but it's common to just make the tea with the dried leaves:)
Now I see… thanks a lot! Tea has a lot more secrets for me, compared to coffee and this is obvious. 😁
We usually buy tea bags in the market. But to have a better flavor we buy the leaves dried in bulk at the market. It is more economical and I like it. I have these strawberry-shaped filters, I open it and inside I put the loose and dried leaves I want, I put them in boiling water, let it sit for 3 minutes and that's it. A delicious tea
Wow! I've never seen such a pretty tea filter. The design is unique and clever, in that the leaf stem serves as a spoon. Very nice 😍
Nice filter, it is also very practical to avoid the remains of the leaves in the tea.
I loved it when I saw it. It is very nice.
I love that gorgeous tea filter. A cool design 😍
Oh my goodness! I need this adorable tea filter in my life like right now... so aesthetic 😍
I personally feel that everything tastes better when it is also beautiful! 💚
Yes, you are right. It makes everything special.
I know what it is, but I didn't get it at the beginning and I didn't want to ask. I'd rather wait until someone else asked the question.
I do love a good Matcha latte too, it's decadent and a real treat. Not something that I have often though. When I have tea, it's most times loose leaves as well. It might not necessarily be the seasons, but when I'm in the tropics, I drink loose tea leaves for iced tea daily. Sometimes with lemon and at others just plain and unsweetened. However, I have my black coffee all year round in the mornings:)
For me in a cafe is usually a cappuccino. Tea is not very popular here although I love it, but it's been a long time since I've been able to find a good place here to have a good cup of tea.
Matcha lattes are a fav of mine! Matcha is so energizing and refreshing— I enjoy mine iced with some sort of alt milk, particularly coconut milk!
The spot in your photo looks like a cozy place to enjoy a cup of tea 😁
I know my coffee habits will shift with the autumn coming… not that much, but there will be a change for sure. With the summer ending I already gradually slow down the cold brew and iced coffee preparation. This will make space for more filter and espresso preparations. I don’t stop the hot coffee in the summer, but it is usually consumed only in the mornings, maybe sometimes in the afternoons, but if the temperature outside is above 35 degrees centigrade it is time for ice cold drinks.
A slice of dried lime always adds a bit more freshness in the cold brew coffee!
Many people link autumn with more sweetened and spicy beverages, but coffee will come always black for me. ☕️
Coffee will always be an inseparable companion, whether it is summer or winter, simply nothing could replace the feeling of well-being that it leaves us when we try it.
Thank you for leaving your comment.☕
Good day.
Yeah, coffee is just an all-year drink
WOW!
I've never tried cold brew coffee with a slice of lemon; must be exciting. I must find out.
The slice definitely adds a layer of freshness on the already perfect taste. I wish I had a dehydrator in my home. Once dried, you can keep the lemon slices in a jar for a substantial amounts of time!
I have learned something new.
Thank you.
Yeah, I've heard that coffee is great with lemon and somehow I think iced coffee with lemon would be best. Sounds refreshing:)
It looks tempting! I have tried orange peel in my "guayoyo" (the Venezuelan equivalent to an Americano)I have seen these slices of dried lime too often lately; I guess they have become popular--or I'm paying more attention 😅--Anyway, this slice looks a lot better than the ones I've seen which look more dead than dried, LOL.
My heart is with you!
These slices are dried in a special food dehydrator. If yours are dried on sun there will be some difference 😁
And yes, my coffee is always black!
I need to try those oranges!
This is a reminder that I need to experiment more with my coffee.
I'm gonna start brewing some to make iced coffee and then add a few slices of lemon:)))
That makes so much sense. I don't really drink iced coffee, but I have iced tea in hot climate. I was first introduced to iced tea and iced coffee by the Japanese:)
I just love ice cold coffee in a hot summer day. And yes, Japanese have a lot of different options if you want cold tea or coffee. When I travelled there, I used to buy different tea every day. They were all amazing!
I like the idea od spices in autumn. It increases the warm feeling:)
Very interesting. I really like cold coffee and iced tea to refresh is another level. I sympathize with you 😊☕.
I'm not a big fan of cold coffee. Maybe it's because the temperature here is tropical all year round and I'm used to always drinking my coffee hot.
However, I'm curious to try that coffee with a slice of orange.
Dried lime in iced coffee, I'm intrigued! I am definitely trying this soon... I can smell it already hehe 😁
Definitely worth it! Gives a very fresh finish on the whole thing.
Hello.
I can tell you that no matter the season of the year, I can't stop drinking my coffee freshly brewed and well-red.
I start in the mornings, before brushing my teeth, I drink my coffee well red, freshly brewed by me.
Then, in the middle of the morning, I enjoy another good cup with a pastry or cheese sandwich.
I finish in the afternoons at the stroke of six with a large cup and some sweets.
If everything is as I say it is, I will be happy no matter the season.
Would you like to drink coffee with me?
I had an uncle who always had his first coffee before brushing his teeth. We found out once he stayed over for vacation. The thing was a scandal in my house, LOL!
I also prefer my coffee black and hot all year round.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Good to know I'm not the only one who drinks coffee before brushing. That guy of yours is on my team.
I like that!
Coffee all seasons.
However, I try to limit the number of cups to one or two... it's rare that I have a third cup:)
I don't go beyond the third one, it's very rare that I do.
I am trying to limit the amount of cups of coffee to two but sometimes I succumb to the third one in the afternoon. Because there's nothing like a cup of coffee and a snack in the afternoon, right?
To be honest you are not the only one I know who has to drink his morning coffee before brushing his teeth LOL
My third cup arrives when it is about 03:00 pm which begins what we call here in my country, the hour of the donkey. For this, a coffee is necessary to react and arrive awake at the end of the day.
Haha!!! We are in the same country ;)
And in that moment, sometimes what we want is a little nap, lol. But I agree, a coffee helps 😆.
🤣
Hehe! That's the cutest gif ever 😍
Aw! What a tenderly beautiful GIF 🖤
Hehe!! A little nap a la "hora del burro" 😄😆
These are probably the least prepared or aesthetic photos I've taken of my morning coffees hahaha... I share them here to mention two things, where I live you don't see all the seasons, but that doesn't affect my coffee drinking (although I must say I would like to live all the seasons and see how it works hahahah).
The first is that I love to drink my coffee while I'm in work meetings, I will always but always order a Vanilla Latte, although I also enjoy espresso coffee very much from time to time. The second is that, yes, I drink coffee with sugar, but believe me I'm trying to stop doing it! In fact, I often ask for it without sugar.
Yes, yes, I know it's wrong! hahaha but I'm learning! I hope you are all well, I send you a tropical hug!
There are no seasons here either, since it is a city where the cold reigns all year round, therefore it does not affect coffee consumption.
Thanks for leaving your comment.
Good day.
Hehe! We thought about that and realised that you don't necessarily have seasons in Venezuela, but from what I've learned from some bloggers here, there are some regions that get very cold, right?
We have two seasons here in Cuamná-Venezuela: hot rainy season and hot dry season 😅 Hot black coffee is a sine quanon of my business meetings, whatever the (hot) season.
I quit sugar in my coffee 20 years ago. Now I just can't drink my coffee if there's sugar in it, not even a bit. It's a matter of time, I guess.
Hehehe... You made me laugh with the seasons of your state. What if it is sure that it is hot, when there is a lot of sun here, people say that hot coffee quenches thirst🤭 I don't see much logic in that.
Good day!
Oh, I've read a scientific explanation for that! I found it here a couple of years ago:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-hot-drink-on-a-hot-day-can-cool-you-down-1338875/
Very interesting, it's not unreasonable after all, I had always heard about hot drinks and heat, but I couldn't believe what they said. I learned something new.☕
I think I'll start drinking hot coffee in hot times😋🤭
Good day!
Sure. Just follow my lead! 😂🤣
😁✅
I quit sugar about 12 years ago and I just can't stand the taste of it in my coffee anymore.
Before that though, my sugar request was "as much as possible." 🙃😅
My eldest sister did it too; she drank sugar infused with coffee. When I gave up sugar, she was a little embarrassed and started to cut it down. She went back and forth during years until she was finally rehabbed, ha ha.
Vanilla latte sounds great, but I only have black coffee daily and anything else is always a treat.
Yeah, I know what you mean about the seasons. I've lived in the tropics where it's only rain or sunshine, and i still drink coffee all year round in the mornings. However, in the hot weather, I tend to drink iced tea throughout the day. I find that most refreshing:)))
I, on the other hand, got used to drinking coffee without sugar since I was very young. And even though I love coffee, if it is black coffee I can't have it if it has sugar, with milk I tolerate it more.
I like tea, on special nights
I could say that between coffee and tea, I prefer coffee. But tea is a drink that I love especially when it's cold and before going to sleep.
But, as for everything I do, I have my customs and habits. I drink tea with lemon, nutmeg and no sweeteners.
A few months ago I got in an online store some filters for leaf tea that I loved. As a compulsive shopper that I am, I bought 3 sets for 1$ each set. They are made of Silicone in the shape of musical notes and strawberry. I love these filters.
Every time it's cold, I'm on my menstrual cycle, I have a cold or I just crave tea I pull out my tea tools and brew that delicious cup of this drink that relaxes me and makes me feel better.
Ah, "When it's cold..."
Shall I see that
before I'm old!
😂
We're having our tea with tons of ice, my dear paisana. The heat is roasting us alive. Your silicone tea infusers look really cute!
@mdosev, see loose tea leaves here in Chacald's photo above:)
Yeah, now I understood completely the term 😁
Those filters are pretty too. You do like nice things:)))
I once made small antiseptic cloth bags to filter loose leaf tea.
Wow! That sounds practical and super creative.
I admire all that you do:)))
Everything about these photos is adorable!! I can see monthly ails being fought fiercely with this type of tea AND the presentation of the tools. That cute little bucket, stoppp itttt!! That's amazing 😍
Making tea at my house is like a dream 🤭🤭. My mother has a kettle that whistles when the water boils. It's great.
I'm not much of a tea lover but all your utensils are lovely. I imagine you have the coffee specific ones too.
We all have a favorite coffee cup, where we feel more comfortable and where the coffee tastes better. I have specific ones for coffee with milk (they are always bigger, the more coffee the better) and others for black coffee, much smaller, thinner and more comfortable.
Hi!
You have to feel it to believe it, summer is a perennial season in my hometown. Let's call it autumn for now; we sweat the same anyway! My steaming morning coffee is only a bit hotter than the breeze that is slowly cooking us alive here, ha ha ha ha. It's crazy.
I traveled back home today--I've been working in the next state every weekend for the last 13 years--; the breeze that entered the car was warm to hot. It was almost 2 hours of hell on earth. My husband picked me up at the terminal at noon and we went for coffee to the nearest place--yes, coffee--; we're tough coffeeholics. I'd had water from my cooler already, which evaporated before getting to the places in my body water is supposed to go; I wanted coffee anyway.
I ordered a cup of affogato; my husband, hot mochaccino.
I was expecting a scoop of vanilla gelato. They gave me chocolate ice cream; I never eat or drink chocolate in hot weather. Well it was ice cream anyway, and the chilled air inside the mall helped a lot, too.
This was not typical of me. I like my coffee black 99% of the time. But hot espresso and ice cream in the same cup presented itself as a good idea after a two hour drive on a ball of fire. A ball of ice cream logically follows after a ball of fire.
And it was a good idea indeed.
I am craving that ice cream right now.
I love coffee and I love ice cream, so it's natural that I love an affogato, I suppose. I've only had it once, and the ice cream was served separately from the coffee. However, I've seen many Venezuelans with it mixed together in a cup:)
If you give a Venezuelan some space, we will get that affogato inside an arepa. We have our way to do things, apparently, ha ha ha ha.
Seriously, this is the only way I've seen it served here; what did surprise me was the chocolate. I was expecting vanilla.
In hot or cold, coffee is always good to cheer us up☕, although that ice cream looks delicious and refreshing, so much so that you can feel the cold slipping through your mouth.🍧
Thanks for leaving your comment.
Good day.
The hot air coming through the windows reminds me of our visits to Maracaibo when we visited my in-laws. When the breeze blows and it seems cool to them, I'm roasting in the hot air 🤣
That Affogato ice cream looks delicious. You've made me crave it, but it would be better with vanilla ice cream. ;)
Maracucho heat is hellish. Cumanés heat is hellish by the beach, and therefore more bearable, ha ha ha ha.
I know!
Ah, delicious! You're mean 😄
This looks FANTASTIC! I am not a sweet chocolate person in general (although I love bitter dark chocolate) so I can totally get being a bit put off by it when the weather is also hot... However, this looks so good that I feel that I would dig right into it too. Add espresso to anything, and I'm probably up for it to be real haha!
It's so funny that after the hot car ride your husband went for a hot drink! Sounds like a wonderful way for the two of you to relax together after the drive. 😍
Regardless of the time of year, that cup of ice cream looks divine.
I live in a tropical country, which is why there are no seasons, and the city where I live is cold most of the time, so coffee is a must during the day, it brings energy, warmth and encouragement to face the difficult days ahead.
In my city there are seasons where the famous "El Niño" phenomenon occurs, this brings with it very strong heat seasons, in these times it is always good to have a lemonade with ice or an iced tea to mitigate the heat during these seasons.
I leave you a picture of the coffee that is normally consumed in the city, today I went shopping and I saw the perfect occasion to share with you this coffee that is very delicious and has an scent that seduces the senses.
For the moment that's all, I'm going to drink my coffee and enjoy Sunday with all the energy that our beloved dark coffee provides.
Greetings to all and may the good coffee be with you.☕
Ah, I guess your climate would be more like Taiwan, where it gets cold even in the summer time.
I'm from Jamaica, so it's hot and humid all year round. If we experience a cold front, then everyone thinks that they are gonna freeze to death lol.
I would love to explore the different regions of Venezuela:))
Jamaica, I love it and especially reggae, it's my favorite music to relax. I have always had the goal of visiting Jamaica, Maybe life will allow us to fulfill the objective of visiting the beautiful country and enjoying the music,the beautiful sea y un delicioso café.☕
PS: cover yourself well from the cold just in case🤭
Good day.
In my case I say that nothing is better than a homemade coffee with love and taste.
Around here we don't have seasons. So there is no such thing as seasonal drinks. And for me, it doesn't really matter if it's hot or not when I go to a cafe, I usually go for a cappuccino.
And my black coffee at home doesn't fail no matter if it's hot or cold, hehe.
And in the afternoons I sometimes feel like a cup of tea. I usually drink green tea or sometimes an infusion of ginger and turmeric with lemon.
I've been meaning to try that one.
We don't mind the heat. We've had hot coffee three times today, amongst the flames.
Jaja!!! Never too hot to have a coffee!
Ps: Try the infusion. It is good and healthy. And don't forget to add a peppercorn to activate the beneficial effects of the turmeric.
Thanks a lot for the tip. I know everyone was drinking that infusion during the pandemics. Fortunately, the virus was easy on all of us in my family. I confess I wasn't as worried as I should have, except for my only son, who was alone in another country. I died a little every day; he was fine as well.
Anyway, now that I have all due instructions, I'll make some for us at home 😁
It must have been distressing with your son abroad. My only son is also abroad, but he left a year ago. During the pandemic, he was here.
I drink the infusion because I like it more than anything else hehe. I also like it with ginger only and lemon. If you like it sweet, you can add a touch of honey. And it's very comforting.
It's great when our favorite treats are healthy.
I never add any sweetener to my tea anymore, but I used to love honey in my lemongrass infusion.
Yeah, I get that in countries where there are no seasons. I also have cappuccinos when I go out, but at home, it's always black coffee.
Sometimes I drink rooibos tea at nights:)
I haven't had a rooibos tea for a long time. I had brought some before the pandemic when I went to visit my sister-in-law in Spain. But I ran out of it a while ago. And here is not easy to get good tea or variety and if you do get it, it's very expensive.
Yeah, it's the same in Jamaica and even the Philippines. Yet places like the UK you get every variety you can think of, and they are all relatively cheap.
I love tea with curcuma and lemon to relieve cold symptoms.
I love your pictures, you are so beautiful and next to that cup of cappuccino you look great.
I tell you that my all time favorite is the mocaccino wherever I go I ask for one to delight my palate and to know if it is worth coming back. I always like it, but if the day is rainy and cold it is spectacular.
I share with you this last mocca I enjoyed a few days ago. Cheers!
Thank you ♡
You look pretty with your mocca. There was a time years ago when I used to drink mochaccino frequently in a coffee shop near the place where I worked. I loved the way they made it there. But since I stopped visiting, I lost the habit of drinking mocha.
😊☕️
☕💜
This photo is a vibe!! 😍✨ It's like the cactus is out for coffee with whoever sits at that table! There is something about a live plant as decor that is just 100% my style.
The coffee looks delicious as well, now I am craving a frothy cappuccino! ☕️
Ginger turmeric tea is one of my household stables. I noticed that it speeds up the process of any sickness, and also does wonders for inflammation. Gotta love something tasty with a purpose! 😁💚
Aww, you are a star 💫 😍 And I can say I could easily share a coffee talking to a cactus 😆
A frothy cappuccino! Where? I'm ready hehe ☕️♡
We are fortunate to live in tropical countries where the weather is the same for most of the year, so we can enjoy coffee all year long no matter what season it is in other countries.
Thanks for leaving your comment.
Good day.
Good evening, dear friends.
Reviewing the post in detail,
no matter the time of the year, caffeinated or natural drinks, are unique, either one, according to the time or our moods which is good to highlight, relaxes us and makes us meditate on our next steps, either in company or in solitude.
Loved the recipe for nutmeg with lemon, I didn't know that interesting item I'll be making it soon.
Lemon is wonderful, it helps us to normalize and neutralize our organism, so as an ingredient can not miss.
Blessings to all.
Yes my friend, lemon is one of my favorite tea ingredients. We'd love to see your favorite cup for coffee or tea. You could share a picture.
I live in a tropical country, where the four seasons are not present but there is summer, which is characterized as a dry period, where temperatures are quite high and there is almost total absence of rain. The other is winter, where the weather is generally cooler. In this season it is common for it to rain, but during these two times of the year, hot, black, coffee is my favorite. On rainy days we just crave a hot drink to keep us active but on the hottest days when we all want to cool down and we have the idea that a hot coffee well charged will be the solution to regulate your body temperature.
