"Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!" Anybody remember that old cheer? The flavor of these summer fruits is just so yummy, and since I don't grow strawberries I yielded to their siren call at the grocery store. The packages of shortcakes were just sitting there staring us shoppers in the face as we walked in, and although you all surely know I Much Prefer To Make It Myself, this is one of those times where I just wanted to eat it, not make it. So, I am thankful for the small mercies of ready-made shortcakes and low-fat (if frozen and not quite pretty enough for company) whipped cream.
But did I get my fill of strawberries? Oh, no. In fact, I was delighted to see this Snapple Strawberry White Tea at the grocery store because it's another, even easier way to enjoy the taste of strawberries.I'm still into "refrigerator brewing" my tea this summer, so I made a small pitcher full to keep on hand. I also tried it hot, and it is delicious that way as well. Strawberries and cream, anyone?
Very nice. Where did you find the Snapple Strawberry Tea? Did you happen to notice if there was Peach flavored? Is it premade or instant or do you brew?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi Teresa! (Love your daughter's wedding photo, by the way. Gorgeous!)
ReplyDeleteI found this tea at the Thomas Crossroads Kroger. And since my eye went straight to the strawberry flavor, I'm sorry to say I didn't notice the "neighbor" flavors, but I do remember noticing on the box that Snapple has this in peach, so might be worth a look!
Oh, and it's just regular, brew-able teabags! (2-3 minutes steeping time, it said.)
Looks yummy and the pretty plate really makes the presentation. Shortcakes would be perfect for hubby's birthday dinner this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try your refrigerator brewing method with some Mango Ginger White Tea (Zhena's Gypsy Tea brand) that I bought recently.
This looks so delicious! Strawberry shortcake is one of my all time favorite desserts. Beautiful photography, too!
