More on Iced Tea

Iced tea, yes it is “iced” tea.  “Ice” tea is tea made of ice.  Iced tea is a refreshing drink for the warmer months, but it doesn’t have to be tea and ice.  Presentation can make all the difference to your iced tea party, whether it is for a few, a crowd or a party of one.  Pamper yourself and your guests with these ideas.  Freeze whole strawberries and add them to the drink.  Edible flowers frozen into the ice cubes make a lovely presentation.  Dress the drink with lemon balm or mint sprigs.  Add a thin slice of lemon, lime or orange.  Actually freeze some of the tea in an ice cube tray.  They can be added to your drink without diluting the beverage.  Now, find a tea flavor you like, dress it up as you like and indulge yourself.

The Tea Party Girl

It is with some saddness that I read the latest post of Jenny Wells, The Tea Party Girl, as she announced that should would no longer be posting to her blog.  Jenny has been an inspiration to me as I “met” her during a teleconference produced by Lady Dawnya Sasse for one of her classes.  I understand how life changes.  I do encourage you to visit her site at www.teapartygirl.com.  She has some wonderful ideas and tips.  I do hope that I can learn from her and make my business as successful.  You can learn more about my venture at www.unicornwineguild.com.  Yes.  Wine.  We are in the process of remodeling a facility to serve as a small batch winery (u-vin), tea room and coffee shop.  It has been over a year that we started on the idea and this fall it will finally open.  Jenny, best wishes on your new venture.  Thanks for the inspiration.
