A Personal Note from Janine
I can’t decide if I love coffee or tea more. Since we got a Nespresso coffee maker, I can’t wait for my afternoon cup of coffee. But I also can’t resist a cup of Assam black tea. When I brew a strong cup and add a little cream and sugar, it reminds me of the milky tea we had in Kazakhstan.
You might be wondering where Kazakhstan is and why we went there. It’s tucked between Russia and China, with Mongolia nearby. We visited twice to adopt our two amazing kids, staying for about two months each time. While we were there, we discovered that Kazakhstan takes its tea seriously. Kids start drinking it when they’re babies!
Funny enough, my kids are now all about coffee. So, I’m diving into a bunch of fun drink recipes today! I know my story took a bit of a detour, but I just wanted to share my love for tea and coffee drinks.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Cheers,
This Week’s Inspiration – Sweet Drink Recipes
This Frozen Lemonade Recipe is refreshingly simple and perfect for hot summer days. With just three ingredients, it’s easy to make and deliciously unique, thanks to the addition of sweetened condensed milk. Blend it in your Vitamix and enjoy!
Starbucks’ Secret Barbie Drink Recipe is a frappuccino that is not listed on the menu, so be sure to request it! This version features strawberries, acai, coconut milk, vanilla syrup, dragon fruit, ice cubes, and whipped cream, all in a gorgeous pink hue reminiscent of the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, directed by Greta Gerwig.
This fun and festive Mermaid Water Drink has coconut and pineapple flavors that are so refreshing and yummy. It’s a delightful cocktail that combines the tropical essence of pineapple juice, the mesmerizing blue hue of Blue Curacao, and the smooth, coconut-infused charm of Malibu Coconut Rum.
Pineapple Cranberry Juice Drink
This Pineapple Cranberry Juice Drink topped with vanilla ice cream brings together the tartness of cranberries, the tropical sweetness of pineapple, and the creamy goodness of vanilla ice cream. It’s a refreshing and indulgent treat.
This Pina Colada Mocktail Recipe is one of my favorites! It’s a refreshing tropical drink perfect for sipping on a hot day. The classic ingredients are pineapple juice, coconut cream, and ice, but you can also add some lime juice and sugar syrup to give it a bit of extra flavor. I like to blend it all until it’s nice and smooth, then garnish it with a slice of fresh pineapple or a cute little umbrella for extra flair.
This Grapefruit Mocktail Recipe with lime juice is a refreshing and tangy combination. The bitterness of grapefruit is nicely balanced by the sourness of lime juice, making for a delicious and zesty drink. Also, I like adding a dash of agave syrup to balance the tanginess. And if you want to make a killer fruity drink, crushed ice is a must-have ingredient!
Try this White Wine Sangria Peach recipe if you like a light and refreshing drink. This Sangria has a surprising twist: sparkling white wine with peaches. To elevate this cocktail, add plenty of fresh peaches!

Sun tea is such an easy summer beverage to make that it is also inexpensive. Suppose you happen to have a cloudy day, no worries. Place the tea in your home and let it steep indoors. Here’s a tutorial on How to Make Sun Tea with a large glass container and a few teabags.

This Week’s Tip – Tea Infuser
Have you ever used an infuser only to have it open up and spill the tea leaves everywhere? My grandma gave me one, and it’s the best. A screw-on lid that seals tightly is the key to a good tea ball. Here’s one that fits the bill and has excellent reviews. This might suit you if you’re searching for a reliable tea ball.
Latest Obsession – Nespresso Coffee Maker
I’m a bit late to the game, but we finally got a Nespresso coffee maker. I was convinced to buy one after visiting my dear friend Leslie, who had one of these machines, and of course, I fell in love with it. It makes such delicious coffee with lots of crema. Plus, I appreciate that the pods are made of metal instead of plastic. Nespresso also composts the coffee and recycles the pods, which is a nice bonus!
