Scribbles About Food: Pure Leaf Pomegranate Iced Tea and Mint Iced Tea

I'm a fan of Iced Tea, so when I heard that Pure Leaf had 2 new flavors, I was pretty excited! Pomegranate Juice is something that I really like and I really like mint drinks and I've been liking Eucalyptus Spearmint smells lately... so I thought this would be good!

This is really tasty! It's very flavorful, it tastes like Iced Tea obviously... but it's also like actually eating a pomegranate. It's got the flavor down PERFECTLY! It was fantastic!

Pure Leaf isn't my favorite brand of iced tea. They have a lot of flavors... but the only ones I really like are the Raspberry and Peach. The plain sweet iced tea isn't bad... the Green Tea is pretty terrible from them, the Lemon is pretty bad too. If you know Long Island Iced Tea... those are much more flavorful than Pure Leaf... but I would have tp say that this pomegranate one definitely compares to the Long Island Iced Tea brand (btw the Long Island Iced Tea is just the name of the brand. It's not alcoholic. You can buy it at grocery stores in New Jersey... you can't buy alcohol in those. Lol.

And the mint is really interesting too. I've never had mint tea before... it makes sense to me though even though I've never really heard of it. It's kind of unique for a brand like Pure Leaf to have a mint tea.

The mint flavor is very subtle and very refreshing in the Iced Tea. It's kind of a relaxing thing to drink... I think it'll be great in the summer by the pool... it's just so refreshing. If you like Mojitos but you don't drink all that often- I think you would like this a lot because I was really craving a mojito a few days ago and this satisfied my craving for that... soooo good!

These flavors are both definitely the best from Pure Leaf... they're really great and just sooo nice! Good for spring and summer... even though today is a blizzard lol. They're just really flavorful and good. Definitely recommend picking these up.

Byee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
