THE TEA HOUND

What’s In It For You?

In this recipe, we use our Unexpected Fling Organic Green Tea, which is antioxidant-rich, helps boosts metabolism, burn fat, and increase hydration plus has zero calories! We also use pink grapefruit juice, which is high in potassium and in vitamins A and C. Pink grapefruit juice also helps strengthen your immune system. Who knew an alcoholic beverage could be so healthy?

What You Will Need:

3 Shots of our Unexpected Fling Organic Green Tea

1 Shots of Vodka (we recommend Belvedere)

Splash of Lillet Rose

Splash of Tea-Infused Simple Syrup

Steps:

1. Make iced or cold brew Unexpected Fling Organic Green Tea (instructions on the back of package)

2. Make Tea-Infused Simple Syrup:

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup Unexpected Fling green tea + 1 cup raw cane sugar
Bring to a boil
Reduce heat and stir over low heat until it becomes a syrup

3. Mix the Unexpected Fling tea with the vodka, the Pink Grapefruit Juice, the splash of Lillet Rose and the simple syrup in a shaker filled with ice.

4. Shake and pour over ice.

How I'm Finding Joy During Uncertain Times

Uncertain times like these can manifest themselves in a myriad of ways... and some not so great.

In that vein I'd like to share one way it has impacted me personally, and what I'm doing to find joy in these uncertain times.

A Heartwarming Wedding Story from an Island Getaway

2019 was a big year for me... I got engaged to the love of my life, Matt, and we married at the end of November. It was the most beautiful, special day of our lives, surrounded by the people we love.

In the days after the wedding an article was being shared on Facebook about the significance of our special day. Happily indulging in my wedded bliss, I hadn't been on social media and didn't see the article until my friend sent it to me directly. I was blown away.

The article was written by Ellen Futterman, a woman who happened to be vacationing at the same place and same time that Matt and I were getting married. She beautifully and eloquently captured the spirit of our celebration. It's a special piece that I will cherish forever.
