Did we make blueberry pie with tea instead of water? We sure did, and it’s divine. Highly recommend the African flowers rooibos blend from SenTeamental, it adds the perfect floral bite to your filling. We also use so little sugar, and maple sugar at that, that you can feel pretty good about starting and ending your day with pie, because, well, pie.

Here’s your sign that it’s okay to just make life easy and get yourself a frozen pie crust.
