The Most Scrumptious Blueberry Muffins You’ll Ever Eat!

Sunday, July 26, 2009

This week there was a blueberry and raspberry sale at Shaw’, 2 for $5. I know what many of you are thinking right? (That's so EXPENSIVE!!) Well in Boston, that’s a GREAT deal.

So I took home two blueberry cartons and throughout the week I have been munching on them. It is the end of the week now and I did not finish even one carton. =( (I tried by best)

On YouTube there was this great step-by-step recipe for blueberry muffins with a crumble topping by expert village. I gave it a try and it was definitely the best recipe I have ever come across. It’s a keeper!

The BEST Milk Tea EVER!

Here you go laalaa, I hope you enjoy this. You should make it for Bob, Pooh, and Sue too. LaaLaa, I made my sugar syrup by melting 1/2 tbsp of sugar with some water in the microwave. It should be syrupy like the ones we make for Nava. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/4 cup of soy milk (I used vanilla flavored)
  • one tea bag
  • 1/2 tbsp of sugar syrup
  • ground cinnamon
  1. pour milk into a pot and turn heat to medium but do not let the milk boil
  2. when there is steam, drop the tea bag in the pot for about 3 mins
  3. when the milk turns slightly brownish, remove tea bag
  4. stir in the sugar and two dashes of ground cinnamon and keep stirring until completely blended
  5. Serve as is or over ice!
