It can be hard to de-stress from the rigors of daily life. A trip to the beach for water, sun, and sand can be exactly what's needed to reset and prepare for the busy months ahead. Close your eyes and imagine it: walking along the shore, feet in the water, sun on your skin, relaxing at a backyard BBQ or a beach picnic with the people you love.
This summer, we're inviting you to bring tea into the mix in a whole new way.
Cooking, Baking, and Grilling with Tea
Tea isn't just for sipping. Used the right way, it becomes an ingredient, adding unique flavor and aroma to both sweet and savory dishes. A few ways to experiment:
- Steep tea double-strength, cooled, then use it as a marinade for grilled chicken or shrimp
- Fold brewed tea into a glaze for grilled fruit or dessert
- Use tea as the liquid base in a summer vinaigrette or BBQ sauce
- Infuse simple syrup with tea for cocktails and mocktails
Try grinding the Mango Papaya Flip tea leaves into a dry rub for beef ribs; the hibiscus and pineapple notes caramelize beautifully on the grill and add a tropical edge you won't get from a standard spice blend.
And the Mango Papaya Flip from that rub? It's the tea inside this month's box.
