Don't we all need a little PASSION in the afternoon?

Don't we all need passion?

No silly, not THAT kind!

I'm talking about Tazo passion tea!

On a recent trip to Target, I was excited to find this box of tea was on sale for $3.00. Not so shabby!

They make it really easy on you. First, you open this little bag and take out a pouch.

Drop the pouch in your two quart pitcher...

Fill it half way with boiling water and let it sit for five minutes...

Fill the rest of the way up with cold water and enjoy!

That's a lot of refreshment for $3.00.

Iced Herbal Tea, so easy!

My go-to iced beverage in the summer is iced herbal tea, which I started making last summer during a heat wave. You might already make your own, but if not, here are step-by-step instructions on how simple (and cheap!) it is. And you can jazz it up any ol' way you like!

Just choose your favorite flavor. I tend to alternate between this red raspberry and a mixed berry blend.

I heat up 4 cups of water in the microwave until it's nice and hot. Add the tea bags....

Let it brew for about 15 minutes or so. You want it to be really sweet and concentrated, because you'll water it down once you put it in a large container.

This is 2 quarts (8 cups) so it's a 2:1 ratio of water to tea.

But by all means, do what works for you :) I just find this is very easy and quick, and you know that's how I roll!
