The moment that the last trick or treater leaves my doorstep, I am in full Christmas mode. Yes, I am one of those people. Sure, I love Thanksgiving just as much as the next red blooded American, but I live for yuletide cheer. On November 1st, I have my ugly holiday sweater on and I am in full decorating mode. If it were up to me, it would be Christmas year-round in my household. So when I had the opportunity to team up with Milo’s Tea to create a holiday-themed drink, I couldn’t have said ‘yes!’ faster. Who’s up for some of Santa’s Sweet Tea?
As you know, I usually stick to cocktails and spiked drinks, but today’s recipe is all about family. Now that I have a daughter, I am determined to make the holiday season as magical as possible. It’s the only time in her life where the whimsy can truly take flight and I am going all in, my friends. The idea for today’s post came from the adult-oriented mulled wine station. But this time, it’s all about including the kiddies and incorporating a bit of the South with it. I am a Texan now, after all. Plus, a tea station is one of the most festive (and easiest) things you can put together for a holiday party. All you need is a bit of Milo’s Tea, spices, and imagination…
Santa’s Sweet Tea Station
INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS:
NOTE:
I am personally recommending Milo’s Tea for this recipe and station. It is fresh brewed, has no preservatives or added acids, and features natural ingredients. It’s delicious taste and gallon sized options also make it ideal for holiday parties. For the Santa’s Sweet Tea, I used the Milo’s Tea sweetened with pure cane sugar, but there are also other options available if you want to change it up a bit: no calorie, unsweetened, lemonade, and a tea and lemonade mix. Lastly, like many of the brands I like to recommend to my lovely readers, Milo’s Tea Company has a great history. It is a family owned, certified woman-owned business operating out of the USA in Bessemer, Alabama. Girl power! The family started off selling their fresh brewed Famous Sweet Tea to local Birmingham grocery stores in 1989 and have worked hard to grow the company to what it is today. Personally, I love a good family run-business success story and try to support those living the dream as best I can.
There you have it! All the sweetness of the South’s famous drink mixed with all the warm spices of the Christmas season. A perfect way to ring in the holiday festivities. I found Milo’s at my local Kroger in the refrigerated juice and dairy section, but they are available at lots of retailers. Find a store near you by using the store locator… you wouldn’t want to disapoint Santa now, would you?!
