While enjoying mooncake on the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't forget to prepare a jar of tea. This is what I did while munching away my favorite mooncake - Apple and Calamansi Green Tea. The mooncake itself is very sweet and filling, not to mention the ones with salted egg yolk! So it is good to have a refreshing tea to cleanse your taste bud.
Apple and Calamansi Green Tea
Ingredients:
2 tea bag if organis green tea bag (2g each)
4 calamansi, halved

ReplyDeletelove the fusion combo of enjoying mooncake! usually we will js go with pot of chinese tea :)
ReplyDeleteAnd this should be perfect to ease the thirst! Btw, it's raining here and not much people celebrating the festival this year. Probably because of the economy down run. So quiet unlike the past years. Oh, missed those happy days! Thanks & have a nice day.
