There’s a ton of memes out there about how you know you’re getting older. Like if you remember Saved By The Bell, it’s time to start using night cream. Or something like that.

For me, I knew I was getting older when I could no longer drink anything with caffeine after lunch time, or it would affect my sleep.

This made it harder to stop by my favorite coffee shop for a treat like caramel coffee while doing afternoon errands! Until I discovered the tea latte portion of their menu.

With all the warmth and comfort of a typical coffee latte, a tea latte is ideal for a decaf treat. I love something like this in the afternoon, maybe alongside a pear muffin or a oven baked apple for a little snack.

Tea lattes are also good at breakfast if you abstain from caffeine. It’s something comforting to sip on while you’re cooking bacon in the oven and waiting for it to be ready, or making ice cream French toast. It works equally as well alongside brunch food.

This cardamom tea latte spiked with vanilla bean is my homemade version of my favorite decaf coffee house drink.

I have been allllllll about the cold beverages lately, even though it’s actually been a pretty cool summer so far. Seriously, I was wearing a light sweater and cuddled u

nder a blanket the other evening. In July. In Michigan. That’s rare! But even still, I won’t let the summer season pass me by without enjoying all my favorite summer party drinks, like homemade lemonades, Moscow mules, and of course, the classic Arnold Palmer. Errrr . . .  a twist on the classic Arnold Palmer.

Try as I might, I am not a tea drinker. I know it has health benefits, I know it’s pretty delicious; I know it’s a lot of things. But if I’m drinking a hot beverage, it’s going to be coffee every single time.

Beyond that, I just drink lots of water throughout the day, and maybe a glass of wine or a cocktail in the evening. Tea just doesn’t come into the picture for me, and that’s OK. I’ve accepted it.

Michigan winters are brutal, it’s true. Especially this last one. But truth be told, I wouldn’t want to live in a temperate-all-year climate.

Because the brutal winters make me all like “OMGEEEE PURE MICHIGAN! BEACH! SUN! BIKE RIDES! DOG WALKS! REPEAT!” in the few short summer months of the year.

So far this summer, the bike rides and dog walks have been plentiful, I’ve taken a trip with my mom to the Charlevoix area for bike riding and beach time, and am heading to South Haven with my two best girlfriends this week for more beach time and sun.

Seriously. I must make the most of it.
