Tea Time!

I grew up occasionally drinking lemon or mint tea with honey when I was sick.  It was okay, but always seemed kind of blah and flavorless not to mention I always wanted more honey!

Enter the 20 oz YETI tumbler and Egyptian Licorice Tea--

My life will never be the same again!

The Yeti tumbler keeps your tea warm for much longer than an open tea cup (and it comes in all sorts of fun colors!), and it is easy to take on the go.  I love to use TWO tea bags with 20 oz, one of which is always Egyptian Licorice.   love how it sweetens the tea without any added honey. 

I drink the Elderberry and Lemon balm/Egyptian licorice combo most of the time, 

but I also love mint, chamomile, and lemon ginger.
