Earlier this week, I was drawn to a post by Denise Krebs, who shared her tea latte as a jumpstart to her hiking day. She inspired me to visit my local coffee shop, where they made me an oat milk tea latte. It was divine! Thank you, Denise, for introducing me to this new favorite!
Tea Latte Sonnet
I heard it from a friend so dear
perfect jumpstart: tea latte
(it looks a lot like heady beer)
what a way to start the day!
stopped by the local coffee shop
ordered a lavender, dairy-free
beamed as the oat milk bubbled atop
eagerly sipped my first taste of tea
I’m sending Denise a cross-country high-five
certain I’ve found a new favorite drink
to help me hike mountains awake and alive
I’m raising a toast with cheers ~ and a wink
at first glance, it looks like this drink is naugh-tay
……..
Wait….could I get fired drinking frothy tea latte?!
