I love refreshing drinks to cool down with when the temperature begins to rise. This one is very refreshing with notes of lavender, vanilla, and bright citrus in Teavana’s Earl Grey Creme tea. The grapefruit and ginger simple syrup lends a sweet, fruity and spicy flavor. I’ll be sipping on this tea all summer long.
