I like to make my first cup of keemun tea in the morning, then a little later use those leaves to make chai. (I use the chai latte recipe on the Dessert for Two website).

This is a great list! You should try Shinzo Matcha! I love their flavors (vanilla and honey in particular).

thank you for the recipe, the only thing i’d say is if you use vanilla bean paste, you need to cut it down by half or it is just too much.

Yes! Traditionally, yerba mate is re-steeped. I write more about it on this blog post: https://theteacupoflife.com/2026/01/yerba-mate-what-it-is-how-to-make-it.html

And what about Yerba Mate? Can it be re-steeped too?

This came out amazing!! I made a double batch for a leadership meeting that started at 8am and the usual grumpy pants with these early start times were even happy! They were beautiful as well, wish I could post a pic. Oh well….
Will make again for sure, especially since they are so easy and delish!!
