Orange Iced Tea with Mint and LimeLast year a friend of mine from Hong Kong got a packet of Chinese tea leaves called "Poli", I am not a tea lover so never used it but few days while reshuffling all those kitchen cabinets I saw that tea leaves packet lying all alone in one dark corner, and so this how it came into use, I guess this the reason I love culinary souvenirs… |

Favorite Breakfast SmoothieI had been buying prepackaged shakes to drink after my workouts for breakfast to have on my way to work. With the Clean Eating focus I shifted gears and started making my own. This is one of my favorites. Adding the spinach is new, I had not been able to do it with veggies when I tried Kale but I really like spinach so I started… |

Homemade Chai Ka Masala (Tea Spice)This year for the first time I made Tea Masala at home luckily I had all the ingredients required in hand. A dash of Tea Masala can be used in cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie, trifles or pumpkin cake, instead of opening different jars of spices it is always easy to add a teaspoon of Tea Masala. |

Peppermint Hot ChocolateTwo of my favorite flavors this time of year are peppermint and chocolate and I cannot get enough of the Peppermint Mocha Latte that Starbucks serves up this time of year. Seriously, every day I would go if I could (and often do). For those of you who love those two flavors combined, but perhaps do not want coffee as part of your… |

Black Russian EggnogWe’re all familiar with adding rum to eggnog. Well, one of my favorite cocktails is a Black Russian so I changed it up a bit. I do keep Kahlua on hand but for those who may not here’s an eggnog Black Russian using instant coffee granules – an economical option over running out for a bottle of Kahlua! |

Sugar Free EggnogI love eggnog and all the choices this time of year make it very hard to not overindulge. I can remember many a breakfast as a teenager being a glass of eggnog and a cookie or two (okay, no judging). Now that I am an adult that constantly watches my weight and calorie intake especially this time of year, I wanted to find a… |

Homemade Bailey's Irish CreamMade my own version of the classic Bailey's Irish Cream. This is the perfect recipe to sip a delicious spiked up cup of coffee during the cold winter months. It is a lot cheaper than buying the real Bailey's Irish Cream and tastes as good, if not better, because you can adjust the recipe to your own taste. Warning: This recipe… |

Toucan Mango Chai Smoothie with FruitI love Chai Tea. You can use any of the flavors from David Rio's collection for this but the Toucan Mango is the best for a tropical twist. |
