Vanilla Cupcake

         ABC Friday..... V is Vanilla Cupcake 

Mmmm....... vanilla.  Mmmmm...... cupcakes.  Who doesn't like a good cupcake once in awhile. They were all the rage there for awhile.  But too many cupcakes does a number on the waistline doesn't it?

What if you could have the cupcake without the guilt?  Well, now you can!  How about vanilla cupcake in a mug? Yep, that's right you can drink your vanilla cupcakes!  (Not literally, that would be a little weird!)

One of my most favourite teas is called "Vanilla Cupcake".  It is way more healthy for you than real cupcakes but still satisfies the need for something sweet once in awhile.  

"Vanilla Cupcake" is a Rooibos tea with Bourbon vanilla and natural flavour. 

   Rooibos bushes.

What's Rooibos you ask?

Rooibos (or red tea) is a South African tea that is high in anti-oxidants and is caffeine free (and calorie free if you drink it without milk and sugar!) 

This is what the "Vanilla Cupcake" tea  looks like before you get to enjoy it in your teacup.

So, if you are someone trying to watch their waistline (like me) or you don't want to drink your cupcakes (because that would be really weird), think about trying "Vanilla Cupcake" tea (from Steeped Tea).  It's a great alternative to the real thing!
