Sparkling Hibiscus Sangria Tea Cooler

Sparkling Hibiscus Sangria Tea Cooler

At the end of the day after the kids are tucked in bed including Mr. Mother Thyme, I usually find some time to myself.  Silence can be quite peaceful.  Before I can finally sit back and relax I usually spend an hour picking up toys, doing odds and ends and cleaning the kitchen.  I can’t seem to relax without having my counters free of clutter and the dishes put away.  Even if Mr. Mother Thyme helped clean up after dinner, me being me has to clean it more.  Finally, when it’s all done I like to unwind with a cup of tea.  My latest favorite is The Republic of Tea Orange Blossom.  It is the perfect balance of sweet and relaxing.

We are huge iced tea drinkers, and always have been.  No matter what time of year it is you can always find a pitcher of tea in the refrigerator.  The Republic of Tea has new collection of large iced tea pouches.  Each pouch makes one quart of refreshing iced tea.  Make a pitcher for a weekend picnic or cookout with one of these four delicious flavors your guests will sure enjoy.

The flavors include Ginger Peach Iced Tea, a premium black tea with the lushness of juicy peaches a hint of spicy ginger.  Limón Black, a refreshing tea accented with citrus includes a blend of fine black tea from Rainforest Alliance Certified tea gardens.  Cool off on a hot summer day with a cold glass of Watermelon Mint Black Iced Tea , with sweet watermelon and a touch of peppermint.  Lastly, Hibiscus Sangria is inspired by traditional Spanish sangria with premium Nigerian hibiscus flowers.
