We have to wrestle it off to put a measuring spoon inside but you can use it to shake out the spice, if you prefer.<br /><br />Tracy, I don't drink iced tea so I am not familiar with that brand, but I am sure it is very annoying not to find it. Supposedly, Tejava has free shipping over $75 but that would be a lot of iced tea! Do you drink it in the winter or just in good weather?

It is an unsweetened black tea and it tastes great. I have tried many other options and of course drink hot black tea from a tea bag, but I really miss Tejava. <br /><br /><br />My husband and son get aggravated with me because I like to have spices that are fresh or at least in date. I agree it probably doesn't matter with many spices.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-17125208085020871192022-01-25T17:17:37.494-05:002022-01-25T17:17:37.494-05:00I've used spices that were definitely over ten...I've used spices that were definitely over ten years old, with no problems.

They are like Yorkshire puddings without the beef dripping and eaten as breakfast or a snack rather than with a main course. I don't have an air fryer but everyone I know who does raves about it!CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-4043407505334371642022-01-24T05:01:26.379-05:002022-01-24T05:01:26.379-05:00Yes, they do say spices should be replaced every s...Yes, they do say spices should be replaced every six months but I don't and we definitely have some much older than that! As you said, we're not constantly using them. Although, we got an air-fryer about 18 months ago and the air-fried chicken recipes we do mean we use a lot more spices than we used to. <br /><br />I'm not entirely certain what popovers are. They look a bit like little Yorkshire puddings but you mention yeast so they can't be. Little bread rolls? My son-in-law is the bread maker in the family and keeps his starter going. I've heard some people keep theirs going for years. Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.com
