TAZO Tea

I love Starbucks iced green tea! I been earning my stars from ordering tea instead of Caramel Frappe. Did I mention, I'm a gold member?! I'm waiting for my 4th free drink coupon. =) hehe! I started last year around October and I reached gold member when I got 30 stars around my birthday. You receive a Gold card with your name on it and a free drink when you reach Gold. As a member, you get a free drink on your birthday too and every 15 star after reaching gold level gets you a free drink. Each star is earned by making a purchase on your gift card. I know, that's alot of coffee.


But the pass three months I been drinking more tea. It's cheaper and less calories and good for your body/mind. On my way to work I order their largest size, the Trenta iced green tea and when I'm finished I make my own iced tea with the same cup. I add two sugars and it'll last me the rest of the night. I finished a whole box of the Zen green tea already. Now I'm on a new flavor: Orange Blossom. It's much sweeter and I'm more familiar with the taste because my dad drinks jasmine tea.


I microwave my water in the foam cup and then add a tea bag. I set up a cup of ice and when the tea is ready I add it to the cup of ice. I repeat it again twice because it takes two 10oz and two tea bag to fill that Trenta cup. That's what the directions called for. =) Since I'm watching my weight, I drink tea instead of eating so I hope it'll help me lose weight. I believe it kinda does. Here's my finished product.


It's Friday! No meat day! I haven't eaten anything yet. After this shift is over, I'm going to bed and wake up and go eat sushi! I love Fridays during Lent. I use that excuse to go eat sushi. Oh!! and then I can go see Minh Tuyet at Chalkline sing! Sounds like a plan right?! Let's hope I actually do it. Hurry up 7am!
