June is National Iced Tea Month and today – June 10th is National Iced Tea Day! This calls for a TADIN fruity iced tea punch bowl to partake in the iced tea madness… don’t you think?
Everyone will reach for the ‘same old same old’ tea they’ve been drinking forever but I say it’s time to shake things up. Try something new, kick up a unique tea combo that’s hard to resist. I know just the tea to do the job – TADIN Artichoke Tea Blend!!!!
Do you know TADIN Artichoke Tea Blend? If you do, how gorgeous is the box it comes in? For those who don’t, it’s a beautiful combination of chamomile, acai fruit, and apple with hints of peppermint and spearmint. Do I have your attention yet? It is the ideal base to my fruity iced tea punch bowl. Once I steep the tea I add a little honey to the mixture to make it slightly sweet. Then I decorate it by adding in juice ice balls to keep it cold, a variety of fruits both dried and fresh, and edible flowers. It’s fantastic! I could go for a glass right now. So pretty to look at, even prettier to drink and lovelier to serve for a group of people in this summer heat.
