minutesSuper delicate. Cold and refreshing. Completely customizable. All that plus a little rum. That’s what you’ll get with this fun tea cocktail that lets you pick the flavor profile by choosing the White Tea that strikes your fancy. We’ve made this one with our Pretty in Pink White Tea with lovely results. For our Summertime Supper Stroll, we used our Orange Blossom White Tea. Which one was better? Both. It’s so good!
