On summer and iced beverages...

I've decided instead of spending money I don't have on iced lattes and gasoline to reach coffee shops, I'm going to get creative with iced drinks at the house this summer.

Working at the Sage has helped to know how to make iced tea, but it's also extracted some creativity that I didn't know I had (it gets REALLY boring making the same 10 coffee drinks all the time, so every barista begins inventing drinks after a month or so of working). Let the experimenting begin...

When we were in Mexico, Tia Mari served us this AMAZING grapefruit drink, and I HAD TO HAVE IT. We went down the tienda, and I bought 9 packs of Toronja Zuko mix.

Right now I'm currently drinking that, with mint leaves and lime juice - yyyyyuuuuuuuuuummmmmm.

The fridge with iced coffee (a basic and must-have), iced tea, and toronja Zuko.



As far as tea, I bought this Hopi tea, and turns out it's a great iced tea. Tastes kind of like chamomile. Boiled 3 bundles and added 1/2 c of sugar....yum x2.


This is the package if you are around 3061 N. Campbell Avenue.



And here's what the tea ends up looking like. Quite the lovely color and great with mint.
