Tea of the Week for March 18, 2019!
One of my youngest daughter’s favorite restaurants is Buffalo Wild Wings – and when we do eat there, it’s a pretty safe bet on what she’ll order: Salt & Vinegar Wings and a glass of Blueberry Mint Lemonade! I have to admit, I love the Blueberry Mint Lemonade (and the Salt & Vinegar Wings!) so I decided it was something I’d have to try in tea form.
I determined the right base for this blend should be green rooibos – because it’s got a fruity note to it (rather than the nutty flavor you’d get from either red rooibos or honeybush) – plus the flavor it does have is light and fresh and would work well with these flavors.
And YUM! This drink is really terrific – a delightful combination of these flavors. It doesn’t taste exactly like the beverage from the restaurant – because the herbal leaves make for a somewhat different flavor experience. But it is really tasty – fresh, fruity, a little bit tart and a little bit tangy, with a nice, cooling mint note (but not too much).
This delightful, springtime cuppa tastes great served hot but it’s even better iced – and it’s all organic and natural, gluten-free, allergen-free and of course VEGAN!
organic ingredients: green rooibos, lemon verbena, lemon balm, lemon grass, spearmint, blueberries, lemons & natural flavors
