Heaven of Tea

You know you love the taste of that cold, Orange Dreamsicle on a hot day. And today in Atlanta is hot by any measure (and humid). So it’s the perfect time to throw in a cold, delicious tea that just reminds you of the Orange Dreamsicles you devoured as a child.

But this version of the Orange Dreamsicle is also healthy. It includes green tea, rooibos herbal tea, and honeybush herbal tea (a close cousin of Rooibos). The trio adds the all important EGCG along with a ton of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. We could have called it the Cancer Defender tea, but that doesn’t sound very tasty in my opinion. It also helps boost your mental alertness and fight off disease. So without further adieu:

Orange Dreamsicle tea blend: Mix 2 teaspoons Orange Rooibos tea, 2 teaspoons Honeybush Vanilla Herbal tea, and 1 teaspoon Dragonwell Organic Green tea along with some Rock Cane Sugar (amount is up to your taste buds). Heat water to just before boiling and steep tea for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Pour over a cup of ice and enjoy.

Just try not to make a cup of that! Fair warning: no one can drink just one . . .

This tea blend comes from the Sawgrass Mills Teavana in Sunrise, Florida.
