The
most important holiday in the United States is Independence Day, better
known as the
Fourth of July. This Federal holiday commemorates our independence from
the Kingdom of Great Britain. Fourth
of July celebrations will be held all over the country from extravagant
big city fireworks displays to small town parades heralding the local
Junior Miss contestants. However you decide to celebrate this holiday,
wave your flag proudly and salute the beauty of the red, white and blue! Happy sipping, Maureen

IT'S
ICED TEA SEASON
It's Summertime! And with its hot, hazy, lazy days, no matter where you live, the summer is all about staying cool. Although our thoughts are far from enjoying a hot "cuppa", we can certainly enjoy the cooling benefits of a tall, refreshing glass of iced tea. Do you really need to go to the convenience store or supermarket and buy those very expensive ready-to-drink bottled teas. I don't think so. Iced tea is easy to prepare and so much better for you than the bottled brands. So, put the kettle on and prepare your own delicious blends. It couldn't be easier or cheaper!! Summer
Bouquet - Caffeine-free Rooibos with a medley of summer fruits
and flowers.
Mint Melody - Caffeine-free Rooibos and aromatic peppermint with just a hint of spice. Lemony Snippette - Lemongrass, orange peel and caffeine-free Rooibos. Peaches Supreme - Our most popular, caffeine-free Rooibos and sweet, juicy peaches! Tiki Torch - Shards of sweet coconut, pineapple and caffeine- free Rooibos. These and many more full-flavoured tisanes are available in 2oz., 4oz., 8oz. packages and economical 16oz. bulk packages. |

"SUDDENLY
SUMMER" COSMO
When
you want to serve an“adult” version of your favorite iced
tea, why not try this refreshing sipper. Serve
it at your next outdoor gathering and enjoy the compliments. In advance, prepare Notting Hall’s Suddenly Summer (makes four cups): • Bring fresh, cold water to just under the boil (180°). • Place infuser into teapot and measure four teaspoons tea. • Pour four cups hot (180°) water over leaves. • Let steep 2 minutes - remove infuser and let tea cool. |
SUPER
SUNBURN SOOTHERS If you find that you’ve spent too much time in the sun and now have a nasty sunburn, don’t worry, relief is on its way. Take those old tea bags that you have in the cupboard and steep four of them in a quart of water. Take the tea bags out and then chill them til needed. When needed, place them on any sunburned area for immediate relief (after wringing them out, of course). Especially soothing on eyelids. Just lay the bags on your closed peepers, and say "Aahhhhh!" |
|||||||||
| In
large cocktail shaker, add ice cubes and combine: • 4 ozs (1/2 cup) prepared Suddenly Summer tea • 1 oz orange juice • 1 oz cranberry juice cocktail • 1 oz Vodka • Dash Grenadine syrup Shake well and then strain into two chilled Martini glasses. Garnish with orange slice. |
