I love tea – love, love, LOVE it – and drink it every day. Recently, I received some loose tea samples from David’s Tea in my VancouverMom.ca Top 30 Mom Blogger swag bag and I am really getting into loose tea as a result.

I bought a new mesh teaball ($3.50 at David’s Tea) and in honour of the hot weather, I have been making my own iced tea – a no calorie delicious drink for summer! I received two Rooibos samples – the Oh Canada and the Coco Chai Rooibos – and both are delicious.

All you do is spoon the tea into the teaball as directed, and pour hot water over it. Let it steep for about 5 minutes and then pour the hot tea into a cup filled with ice. Presto! I like using my bright new thermos cup from Kokopelli Cafe (also from my swag bag). Delicious.
