Iced Spice Dream

We love experimenting with different concoctions and flavours here at BBTC as you know, and our most recent session was with SPICE DREAM. Whilst this is a deliciously healthy caffeine-free chai latte for winter, you can also prepare it as a rich and decadent cool drink for Summer. This is a great caffeine-free substitute for an iced coffee or chai.

How to Brew an Iced Tea

Iced Teas are a deliciously healthy way to hydrate over the Summer and also have the added health benefits of the organic herbs and ingredients that they contain. The process to make these beauties is so simple! You will only need a jug, some water (preferably filtered) and whatever BBTC herbal tea you’d like to use. We recommend using boiling water to infuse the herbal tea so that you extract the active constituents of the herbs that have the therapeutic action. Then the infusion is simply cooled down.

Mushroom Soba Noodles

We love this recipe from @SharonLawtonNutrition using our Spice Dream. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat. Although the name gives the impression buckwheat comes from wheat, it is actually a seed. Soba noodles are thin noodles unlike the thicker udon noodles traditionally made from white rice. Soba noodles can be gluten free and made just with buckwheat. They are also made in a combination of white wheat flour and buckwheat, so read the label if you are seeking gluten-free options.

Crispy skin salmon is one of those ingredients that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner in spring and with our  Immunity Tea, this salmon dish is taken to a whole new level. @SharonLawtonNutrition has developed this recipe using immunity tea that contains a unique blend of lemon myrtle, eucalyptus, licorice and ginger that works well to balance the rich salmon flavour. She has also added lemongrass and garlic flakes to compliment the loose leaf tea. A drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil ties it all together.
