I come from the Seneca Nation in WNY, and honestly it's just so nice to see Indigenous people across all these social media platforms. I don't know if I've ever commented before --- so hello

[@racheltru797]

Literally every INFJ I’ve ever met is a huge research nerd lol (myself included)! Tea Rec: a great starter tea is the tazo chai tea concentrate (I get it from target) warmed up on the stove with milk! I do mine about half tea/half milk but that’s just a personal preference! ❤

[@eldsflamma8286]

Omg! Rocky in his little halloween outfit🧡🧡🧡Rocky always makes me smile. Miss my little girl I lost 5 weeks ago💔Chihuahuas are so special❤️❤️❤️

[@hayleyrawlingson6917]

As a British person I feel like I can’t leave this video without mentioning English Breakfast tea….i feel like I’d committing a crime if I did 🤣. English breakfast tea and a spot of milk/creamer……absolute perfection. I would also recommend peppermint!

[@levinia333]

ahh idk how you feel about chai tea but it's so perfect for fall! put a little bit of milk of choice and sugar or even just a bit of creamer & boom, delicious especially with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top ~ peppermint tea is also great! good for relaxing and ginger tea helps a lot with tummy probs! you can really add anything you want with tea/combine teas and i love experimenting. so far, most have been great :)

[@alsosmeli]

Yes ! I just started drinking chai lattes this month lol

[@Lalalovelies]

I love that you’re considering continuing into grad school! Self guided learning has been such a challenge but it’s so fun to follow interests without being bogged down by deadlines or nonsense assignments. Evenings in Missoula is a fantastic tea. I had it for the first time at a random coffee shop when I was in college and it’s been my favorite since.

[@maiamac]

I just found your channel and as another belizean living in nyc that loves reading and fiber arts,it’s so cool to see your love and admiration for back home🫶🏻

[@wildfern]

Your videos are therapy ✨🫶 thank you for posting them. Also, I always looove your nails, but this colour is wowww 🤩💚

[@lizziedeerest]

Ahh it’s amazing to see you working on the things that are important to you. Rooting for you! You’re going to be a voice for the people :’)

[@AdrianainEP]

You might love chai tea! Also, if you like hot apple cider, try Celestial Seasonings' apple cinnamon tea or caramel apple tea with a splash of oat milk. It's like fall in a cup.

[@katieannwicked]

i agree these are good too!

[@sierracanada775]

I recommend Red tea or Rooibos tea. It's very comforting and not over powering. I found it during a reading spurt in middle school and have been in love with it ever since.

[@yasminefin154]

Rocky serving looks and posing for the camera 🥰

[@BrittanyBWrites]

Tea wise, I go for the black teas-Earl Grey, Darjeeling and chai, and i love putting milk or creamer in there, esp. the fall creamers, and I haven't drank chai tea in a long time but I do love that one-it's really good and very delicious

[@e4mi]

This. all of this

[@GoodFairyful]

waited the whole day for this 🤍 the background music gives pride and prejudice ✨

[@CrystalPistal99]

30 minutes of VIBEZZZ! Thanks for the vlog! I can't wait to hear what you think about Hurricane Wars! I almost bought this the last time I was at Barnes and Noble. I have not heard or seen anyone talk about it (not that that makes a difference for me, I'm actually trying to read more books that AREN'T viral) but I value your opinion and was excited to see you interested in it none the less! I'd be excited to see Taboo from BEP too! He was always my favorite as well! I'm excited to see you getting back on your research grind, you always seem to have so much more spirit when you are talking about your Native history or art history, you can tell they bring you joy. Much love to you and lil Rocky as always! ♥♥

[@CrystalPistal99]

omg I use exclamation points too much it reads like I'm always shouting :/ I just want to make sure my emotion of joy and excitement always comes through lol.

[@GhostsOfThings]

Personally my favourite tea is a vanilla rooibos. I also really like mint tea 💚

[@ifyougiveamouseaprozac]

my favourite tea is dirty chai. it's black tea and espresso. i buy the tea bags from a grocery store here in Ontario, but i'm sure it can't be that hard to find some where you are. i also recommend Zotero, which is citation and source software for your computer that helps you keep track of online sources. i'm a history major, so keeping on top of sources is kinda my thing. (i also write down my sources in a notebook as a reference should a tab get closed accidentally).

[@e4mi]

On the history topic, I got my masters in history dec 2022. I think art history in grad school is way more creative and fun. The classes and projects that art history does in grad school is so interesting compared to undergrad being very notes heavy. Anyone feel free to disagree of course ❤ (love your vlogs!)

[@phoebemoore2434]

Try a spicy chai tea. Make sure it's already blended with black tea and add a splash of milk and honey. It tastes like autumn.

[@abigailm-ui8vq]

Yorkshire tea put tea in cup first then add boiling water from a kettle fill it up about 85% full let it simmer then you can either leave the tea bag in or take it out then add some oat milk on top and its splendid you can add sugar as well if you prefer sweet. also lucky you I'm in LA and its still 90 degree weather ugh

[@laurenports]

Chai tea is delicious, (I highly, highly, could not recommend more, getting the iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks. Literally the best drink ever. ) also could try Earl Grey, English Breakfast, you could try a London Fog from Starbucks I think it’s pretty good lol. There are sooo many teas tbh

[@naz.isthis]

ah i so desperately miss fall this video felt so good in july :”)

[@spacemcnuggets8546]

I had to rewind it when you said frybread 😂 hi hello, I'm actually Native as well, I'm Navajo (Diné), from Arizona and yes frybread is always that salty but depends on who's aunt or grandma that made it too😊 lol but yess, sometimes we put honey on top of it and make our mutton sandwiches and stews with it. it's a part of our daily lives , not so healthy but it's good lol story of it goes back to the Navajo Long Walk and the Trail of Tears. I was amazed that I heard my favorite youtuber talking about frybread lol I love how you give recognition to indigenous people and their cultures, I love youuuu! you're amazinggg!❤

[@dahliamartinez714]

my comfort channel :3

[@cmgordillor]

Buttermint from Twinnings is my favorite mint tea. Or black tea with a splash of milk 👌

[@dianatancheva4315]

6:08 Tea with hibiscus. Literally THE BEST! ❤

[@kristi_yang]

I've recently discovered rooibos tea-it's caffeine-free but tastes like a black tea. There are vanilla-flavored ones too and that honestly hits the spot with some cream or milk.

[@BrendaMichelleReads]

Some teas I like are Black tea if you are looking for a boost since it has caffeine. I personally like Black tea with lemon. Earl Gray is also very good a lot of people like it with milk and cream I drink it plain because I’m weird. If you want a tea to relax I recommend camomile tea or cinnamon tea. I love just boiling a cinnamon stick and a bit of sugar it makes your home smell so COZY 🧡🍵☺️🍂 Another tea I like making before bed is camomile with a bit of fennel seeds. This tea is extremely relaxing so you will fall asleep lol so I only drink at night like an hour before I want to knock out 😊 Hope these recs help

[@KkotByul7]

Your vlogs are so healing ❤️

[@JessBF]

You might like Dandy Blend. It's a dandelion root and chicory blend that has a similar full-bodied, roasted flavor to coffee, but no caffeine. Dandy Blend is just a brand, but there are a few different ones (Teechino makes a few different varieties, both plain and with added flavor as well). I love it with steamed milk, sweetener and a pinch of cinnamon. Super cozy beverage.

[@fillireads]

Great video again 😍😍😍 Thanks for being here, you always give me inspiration 🥰I was procestinating with my university work now finally I can go and prepeare for stuff! Also adored the Rocky's orange outfit now I want the same hehe :)

[@katieannwicked]

I recommend Sleepy time tea and put a lot of honey in it or Sleepy time Honey by celestial teas I believe is the brand it has a bear on the box its like the cottage core of tea, its soo good, and very relaxing, it doesn't taste fruity and not a green tea either

[@mundanearchives]

Try this tea recipe: To a pot of 2 cups of water add ginger, black pepper and cloves. Simmer until the water reduces to about 1 cup. Strain and pour to your cup. Add lemon squizes and your preferred sweetener. We call it moshla chaa, you could add tea leaves to if you want but not necessary. A subtle spicy taste (you need sweetener to balance the spice ofc) Hope you enjoy it.

[@honeybunnybunny1958]

5:57 Black English Tea. ❤ I use to be a coffee girl then a matcha girl but had to let those go due to the twitching it was causing me and the hand shakes. Came across Black Tea and never went back. It gives awesome mood boost and has natural caffeine that not only doesn’t make me twitch but I find it keeping me awake much longer. I really enjoy it with stevia drops (original). Has a nice taste with the stevia and I can take it alone. Sometimes I’ll use two tea bags if I need to stay awake for something longer. ❤ hope you give it a try. 🍁

[@c0smiccollective]

For tea, Harney & Sons is my favorite brand. They come in the cutest tea tins and their teas are sooo good! My favorites are their Hot Cinnamon Spice and Paris teas (:

[@lisaclarke615]

Lemon & ginger tea with a spoonful of honey is 👌🍁🍂

[@reyem98]

Best cup of tea is a earl gray or PG tips with i big splash of milk. Don't be shy with it the more the better. I prefer witout sugar but some like it. That is my basic by amazing tea tips.

[@iodasq]

cinnamon tea! with some sugar absolutely delicious

[@janethecreative4350]

Peppermint! Caffeine free and damn good for headaches and tension

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Caramel tea with vanilla taste is good. I am more of a coffee person but that tea is good.

[@leafsonata]

Have you tried Teeccino? It's a tea that tastes like delicious coffee. You can have either the tea bag or grounds foe your coffee maker. It's never bitter- so good.

[@JessDotNet]

I highly recommend biscuit tea by Yorkshire. I use brown sugar and whole milk with a splash of sweet cream.

[@katelynsosa5599]

Harney & Sons "PARIS" Tea is a favorite of mine. Ingredients-black tea, vanilla, black currant, natural bergamot oil, and caramel 🧡🖤

[@angelicahorsman5439]

Trader Joes has really good chai tea bags , their earl gray tea is decent (earl gray is my favorite tea of all time, I like the Harney and Sons loose leaf earl gray). I use 112 degree water and steep for a long time, add about 1 tbsp honey and a lot of oat milk

[@chizumoyo6984]

Peach flavoured tea is really soft ( It's my favorite )

[@celested2442]

felt so drawn to this video bc I just graduated university in may and I feel so much pressure to already know what I want to do with my life and when or if I’ll go to grad school and what I’ll study 🥲 also I recommend you the celestial seasonings brand vanilla chamomile tea, sooo yummy

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’m loving the green nails!!

[@honeybunnybunny1958]

Really enjoyed the is video! Happy to see your family make an appearance ❤ thank you for sharing Kat. Hope you have a great week.

[@pandareads]

coffee flavoured tea actually exists 😂

[@diba412]

English breakfast tea and no, fry bread isn't salty...it's savory but delicious! Yum...Chai is also a great tea at this time of year...and rocky is still too cute for words❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

[@lizziedeerest]

Hi! I drink the most basic tea which is Lipton black tea. I think it’s a good place to start. I use a sugar cube and a tiny bit of milk. If my throat hurts, then I use honey instead of sugar

[@phoenixbutterfly1677]

Congrats on graduating!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@tinyghost90]

Where is your nail polish from?? Your nails are always so pretty

[@honeydori6415]

thanks for the new video🍂

[@hibellla]

Try English breakfast tea with a splash oatmilk. This is my favorite and replacement for coffee

[@barbarajmrocha]

I lov this! ❤

[@leil_de_bebem]

EARL GREY TEA WITH SOY MILK IS THE BEST GIRL

[@oktawia6650]

I really recommend rooibos tea. It’s not to bitter if you leave the teabag inside. If you don’t like it, that’s ok. For me it’s autumn/winter essential

[@shannonseneviratne7497]

Any tea from Sri Lanka is the best 👌🏽

[@Phaedraa]

I suggest you try Chai tea. I think you’d enjoy the flavor and you can have it made with milk so it’s like a latte.try it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s one of my fav teas. 🌻😊

[@neozen444]

try chai! v warm and cozy for this fall weather

[@saraheliece]

I’ve been to Belize. Only for a few hours of one day. It was beautiful.

[@sherlysantiago9243]

Caramel tea with sweetened milk is very nice! I use either sweet oat creamer or vanilla oat milk. :) it’s lovely and easy to prepare. However, it tends to be black tea so it is caffeinated! I like the bigelow brand :)

[@evamelas4839]

Roiboos Vanilla Tea is my favorite

[@sonnhildgeldermann7951]

rooibos tea!!:)

[@eleesa3367]

Twinings Irish Tea green box, there is nothing better! I promise!✋️

[@Mazadepizza]

Hey kat! Idk why but I would love to hear your thoughts on love or relashionships in your vlog chats lol

[@fra7860]

you should try either chai or cocoa tea

[@britishrocketeer]

Sounds like chai or some kind of dessert type of tea might suit you 🤔

[@paulacelest]

maybe try peppermint tea. i love it

[@CoffeeBookChick]

You might really like chai from the Kolkata Chai Company in Brooklyn. You can head to their shop or purchase online and it’s so simple and easy to make, and such a good transition from coffee. I always like to recommend chamomile tea at night as a starter for new tea drinkers. The making of tea for me is more ceremonious at times, very ritual and calming. Now that I have delved into more tea, I don’t usually buy the tea bag options and opt for the full whole teas that I will use a tea strainer to brew it. There are entire communities online as well, and in New York, I’m sure there are in-person ones you can attend to learn more. But a good and fun starting point might be Club Magic Hour options online. Also, fry bread is not usually salty, but it might depend on the tribe. It’s a well-loved recipe, but it can be divisive. The fry bread from the Seminole tribe in Florida was not salty and the honeyed butter on it was delicious.

[@kiaraaires1885]

For me tea isn't that good but I still like to drink it when I'm cold or not feeling well, but I recently tried lemon lavender tea and its pretty tasty.

[@anneche125]

I sersiouly need that mouse pad

[@kalasimsy2966]

oolong milky tea 😌

[@andreabetancor2457]

Hiii 🤎 the earrings really remind me to a traditional earrings here. I am from Canary Islands, is part of Spain but is actually is closer to north Africa and we have so similar earrings, same shape but less details Canary Island had a strong relationship with Cuba and Venezuela bc migration and now I wonder if maybe is somehow related with that 🤔

[@TheOsiren]

Get Chai tea and mix it with cream and sugar.

[@wildoranges]

what about masala chai for tea? it has black tea so you'd still get some caffeine like from coffee. personally I also love rooibos with milk and brown sugar, that's caffeine free though.

[@0lynn046]

Barley tea 👌

[@karenrubio7780]

I love to drink tea especially while studying, makes me feel like an old academic hahaha anyway, I love Earl Grey with sugar and milk, same with english or irish breakfast (which are also black teas), chai tea (with sugar and milk), chamomiles with lavender also with a bit of honey and milk (helps me with anxiety as well), lemon tea and raspeberry in the summer. And in the summer once they´re a bit colder I add them ice. Remember: tea and sugar (optional), then hot water directly on the bag of tea (so it creates a better brew), and finally after 3-5 minutes, you add your milk (optional).

[@szpaqus]

would you show us your crochet projects? I am very curious. :)

[@Studio.Faithie]

What do you use to host your website? Is it square space? I’m trying to figure out what i want to use

[@deardominique_]

Maybe she accidentally picked up the salt when making the sweet fried bread instead of the sugar! 😂

[@shanelim6312]

@katherine karas where are all your rings from?

[@layersofloriiii]

🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@zosarim9469]

a bit random but where did you get your phone stand?

[@nikkidionson1069]

❤❤❤❤

[@vignetteviolins]

Earl grey tea with a bit of milk is ❤❤

[@cacasnack909]

Camomile tea is soothing !

[@FionaBanana]

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@sophiamock5774]

I wonder what she does for work to be able to afford to live alone in NYC whilst also seeming to have a lot of free time

[@tanyaroberts919]

How can you got like tea 🥺🥹 ok, earl grey (loose leaf over bag) seaped for sbout 3-5 minutes with a dash of cream or milk. And homemade chai with whole spices if you can. 😊
