Summer Entertaining with Tea

When summer rolls around, so do opportunities to entertain! So when the Tea and Herbal Association of Canada announced that July was going to be Entertaining with Tea Month, the first thing that came to mind was organizing an afternoon tea for a summer bridal party. Summer weddings definitely inspire celebration - flowers blooming everywhere we look and an abundance of seasonal ingredients, making planning a breeze. I love this time of year when the first cherries appear in the store - they will make their way into the Murchie's Scone Mix. Some wild roses will become flower arrangements for the table that will match perfectly with Wedding Blend bergamot and rose tea.

Murchie's Iced Tea at Home

A make-ahead, big-batch pitcher of iced tea to keep you hydrated throughout the day or a quick brew recipe to pour into your travel mug and head out the door. Here are two iced tea recipes just in time for warmer days.

Peach Passion White Sangria

Serve this white Sangria at every dinner party or backyard bbq all summer long. Variations of this fruity wine punch can be found throughout Spain, typically made with red wine. There's always wine and fruit, but adding Peach Passion tropical herbal tea is our new personal preference. The fruit is often oranges and apples, but in this version peach or pineapple chunks mimic and enhance the tropical tea and naturally occurring notes in the white wine. Soak the fruit in the tea and sugar so they get nice and sweet and top up with wine. Serve with plenty of ice cubes. This summer sipper is great with grilled meats or a late brunch - it's pretty much brunch, lunch or dinner approved.

Mother's Day Brunch

Murchie's is here to help you create a lovely Mother's Day spread to show Mom how much you care. With a trusted recipe and perfectly paired teas, you can create a unique Sunday brunch!

Easter Brunch Recipe Idea: Marbled Tea Eggs!

This Easter, try a charming new recipe for boiled eggs. Marbled tea eggs taste wonderful on top of rice with some sauteed spring greens or as a snack.
