HERBAL TEA LEMONADE

I know what I'll be drinking all summer! I have made this recipe with Pink Lady Herbal Tea, which has a refreshing minty flavour, and Scarlet O Herbal Tea, which has a fruitier flavour. Both are delicious, and wouldn't be bad with some white wine or vodka if you're looking for a summertime beverage.

6-7 c. boiling water
3 tbsp. Epicure's Scarlet O or Pink Lady Herbal Tea
1 can frozen lemonade
1 can water

Pour boiling water over tea and let it steep until it reaches room temperature. Strain and pour into a pitcher with frozen lemonade. Top it up with more water if necessary. Serve over ice.


JAMAICAN JIVE CHICKEN KEBABS

I might be making this recipe all summer long - these were fantastic!

3-4 chicken breasts, cubed
2 tbsp. Epicure's Jamaican Jive Dry Glaze
olive oil
assorted veggies & fruit (pineapple, red & green bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
bamboo skewers (I love these ones from Epicure because the food doesn't twirl around.)

Marinate chicken in Jamaican Jive and olive oil. Skewer with veggies and grill on the bbq.

Two London Fogs: MAPLE EARL GREY & COCO VANILLA

I've had my Deluxe Milk Frother for years, but I hardly ever used it until this winter. I finally found the perfect method for making frothy London Fogs, and I made one almost every day! Much cheaper than Starbucks.

MAPLE EARL GREY LONDON FOG
1 heaping teaspoon Epicure's Crème de la Crème Earl Grey Tea
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. milk, warmed
drizzle of maple syrup
sprinkle of Epicure's Maple Sugar Grinder

COCO VANILLA WHITE TEA LONDON FOG
1 heaping teaspoon Epicure's Coco Vanilla White Tea
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. milk, warmed
(I find this one doesn't even need any sweetener, but you could add some if you want.)

Steep tea for 2-3 minutes. Pour warm milk into frother and top it up with the strained tea. (There is a line inside that shows you the maximum amount - just pour enough tea to reach that line and leave any extra tea in your mug.) Add sweetener if you want. Pump the frother for about 30 seconds, and then pour into a larger mug. Sprinkle with maple sugar if you want.
