The French Horse. Interesting cocktail name. Even more interesting cocktail. Mint meets cucumber meets lime meets vodka. They all walk in a bar. What could go wrong? Absolutely nothing. First we created a Marrakesh Mint simple syrup, blitzed up a cucumber and shook it up with vodka and lime. This cool refreshment is our new...
Sometimes that morning latte is just a little too big of a jolt. Smooth things out with the subtle caffeine delivery from an Oolong tea. Oolongs are in a world all their own. They’re not black teas. They’re not green teas. They are the result of a very specific processing method with precise semi-oxidation. The...
Most morning routines include a little caffeine and a protein-filled breakfast. Right? Who are we kidding. Most mornings are rushed, filled with overdue to-do lists and finally dashing off realizing you’re starving. Prep this smoothie the night before right inside the blender carafe and park it in the fridge. We chose Traditional Mexican Vanilla because...
Store owner Anne remembers being entranced by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and still wonders (out loud) about what happened to Violet Beauregard, the rule-breaking, gum chewing, golden ticket holder who was blown up into a blueberry. While we’re not sure if Violet ever enacted revenge, we’d like to think she’d approve of this...
Lemon, honey, ginger and vodka. They’re just meant to be together. The result? A smooth elixir that’s wonderful iced, but we’ve been known to heat it for a hot toddy. We just love what this fun little cocktail with its fun little name. It’s just the bee’s knees.
Infused water makes for such a refreshing sip. The right tool makes it even better! We love the extra long infuser in the ForLife Mist Iced Tea Jug with Basket Infuser. It’s perfect for tea and makes easy work of creating infused waters. Grab cucumber, fruit and even spices! Be sure to add some zing...
Minty Mojitos. What’s not to love? We took this Cuban highball and subbed in our Blackberry Mojito Green Tea. It’s crisp and light and adds just a little complexity. We brought in the sweetness from Basic Bee Mojito Honey Cubes. Shake up this cocktail for Cinco de Mayo or Taco Tuesday. Then make pitchers all...
Yaupon is a caffeinated plant that grows wild in the south. Before you head out to forage in the woods, know what you’re looking for! Better yet, grab some from us. We lean on two women foragers from Austin, Texas who know their Yaupon. This delicious, wildcrafted “tea” (tisane, to be exact) is known as...
Minty and perfectly refreshing. Oh, and perfectly easy! Mint Brulee is a caffeine-free, herbal infusion that delivers 100% satisfaction. When it comes to making big pitchers of cold brew, we turn to our ForLife Capsule Infuser. The addition of a little spritzy water made this already-favorite brew our renewed favorite!
What can tea NOT do? We sip it, bake with it, shake cocktails with it. Now we’re making our breakfast with it! These overnight oats are a cinch. Choose your favorite tea – for ours, we grabbed Fais Do Do Herbal Tea – a chamomile tea blend that’s just a delight. Steep a cup. Load...
