At Home With The Summer Kitchen Girls

  We love experimenting with our teas, so last week, we tried out a Pumpkin Basque Cheesecake recipe and added our Gingerbread tea leaves for the spice. Several ingredients need to be at room temperature, so get those out several hours before you want to make it. Surprisingly, there is no flour in this cheesecake, and with no crust, it would be a gluten-free, friendly dessert to have at a get-together. We think it turned out quite lovely, so we thought we'd share!   PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD BASQUE CHEESECAKE Ingredients3 bricks of Cream Cheese at room temperature3/4 cup Sour Cream at room...

This week, we were on The Nine on Chanel 13, showing you all how to create a versatile Chai Sugar Scrub! It's not just easy to make, but also a perfect gift for all your friends and family.

Have fun experimenting, and don't forget to share your creations with us!

It's COLD out today...and since we are home for the day, we are trying out new recipes with TEA, so we came up with a delicious idea for you today! Oatmeal sounds like a happy, keep-me-warm breakfast, and everyone in the house was on board, but why not shake things up?? Instead of using milk or water, let's brew TEA to cook our oatmeal with! Searching through the cupboards, I came across our Winter Blend tea. If you do not have our Winter Blend, try it. It is one of our signature blends at The Summer Kitchen and is full...
