Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming - Tea on Tuesday

I have not been drinking too much tea of late - except for some sweet southern tea with my lavender syrup!!!

I recently purchased a Health Master blender - this is the GREATEST thing ever!! It could probably blend concrete if need be! I have been having smoothies every day. I prefer the ones with tons of fruits, but my daughter made one the other day, from a recipe in the Health Master book.

It is made with green tea- and is kind of yummy!! Here's the recipe - and I'm sure it is doable with just an average blender or juicer, if you slice up the fruit in small pieces.


GREEN TEA MELON COOLER

2 cups green tea cold
1/4 honey dew melon ( we have substituted mango - equally good)
1/2 cucumber
1 apple cored and peeled
1 cup ice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In keeping with tea on Tuesday - a friend found me this vintage tin and a teapot drip catcher at the thrift store- thanks, Linda!!!

  4. Thanks for stopping by. I purposely waited late today to make sure I caught everyone's posts. When I got there, most everyone had posted early. Go figure.

    I love the idea of cucumber and honeydew melon together. I'm sure the apple adds a nice zing, so I may have to try it. Of course, I'll have to use a blender, since I don't have anything nearly as great as your Health Master.

    You sure are lucky to have a friend with the sense to snap up that tin. It is darling.

    See you Saturday!!
