The Best Milk To Use in Electric Milk Frothers

Comparing Milk for Tea Lattes Which Is Best Skim Half Fat Full Fat

I generally use 2% in my lattes as it is what we keep in the fridge.  In steaming milk, the amount of proteins in the milk can make a huge difference in the type of foam you get but what about an electric milk frother?  The temperatures are lower than when steaming milk and it […]

DAVIDsTEA Red Velvet Cake Tea Review

DAVIDsTEA Red Velvet Cake Tea Reviews

The last of the “sweetheart” part of the 10th anniversary collection is DAVIDsTEA Red Velvet Cake.  I did not pick up the tropical quad as I know I am not a huge fan of Copabanana or Buchu Superfruit and Rainbow Sherbet was fairly recent anyway.  Red Velvet Cake is another surprising addition to the throwbacks […]
