Blueberry-Hibiscus Latte
A blueberry hibiscus latte, sweetened with maple syrup, offers a creamy, caffeine-free burst of summer. Perfect for cozy chats or solo sips! Here is another tasty hot drink that doesn't keep you awake at night with a caffeine surge. The blueberry flavor reminds me of my BFF Linda because we went through a period of drinking blueberry tea when we met for our little world-fixing chats back in the day! I actually have quite a few blueberries in my freezer, so this is something I can enjoy often. I guess you could also make this latte using both hibiscus and blueberry tea, but I think most blueberry tea powders have something in them to amp up the flavor and you are probably better off using something more natural. But you get to decide! Ingredients: (about 2 servings) *1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or 2 tablespoons dried blueberries đź’š *1 tablespoon hibiscus tea or dried hibiscus flowers đź’š *1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (to taste) *1/2 cup coconut or almond milk (for

Rooibus Latte- A Relaxing Hot Drink, Caffeine-Free
Rooibos ( my ear hears it spoken as roy ' bus ) tea is a uniquely South African beverage made from the oxidized leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant. This hardy shrub is indigenous to the Cederberg region, where it has been consumed for centuries. The distinct red-brown color and naturally sweet, slightly nutty flavor of rooibos results from extensive oxidation, similar to black tea. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, making it a popular relaxing choice. Rooibos is prized for its health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants linked to reduced cardiovascular disease risk, better blood sugar regulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Rooibos also provides minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Its soothing nature makes it useful for digestive issues, immune support, and sleep promotion. With its unique heritage, exceptional flavor, and wellness profile, rooibos has become a beloved beverage worldwide. Whether enjoyed on its own or in recipes, this South African specialty of

Hot Carob Drink
Mmmm hot carob! Have you tried it? If not, you might be surprised to know that it is a creamy, dreamy sweet drink-- like cocoa, but creamier and without the bitterness. And without caffeine. And without theobromine. And, as I discovered, it helps to settle a wonky tummy (otherwise known as 'diarrhea'). Without creating the reverse 'issues' (i.e., constipation). Or, that is what it did in this household. I am not a medical practitioner, just someone looking for a possible help for a problem and finding many indications that a hot carob drink can 'do the trick'. See this article in Healthline , for example. Please check it out with your own health provider. I have baked with carob powder (muffins, cakes, cookies, bliss balls) and carob chips, but hadn't checked out the hot drink. I like it better than cocoa (hot chocolate). THE SIMPLE RECIPE FOR 1 CUP OF HOT CAROB DRINK: For one mug of hot carob: Slowly heat a cup of non-dairy milk on the stove until it
