Three Loaded Teas
Loaded Tea for Wreath Making
A few days ago Carrie and Taalor stopped by for a Facebook Live to make a watermelon wreath. But first, they had to have a loaded tea! 😆🥤
They tried a few different recipes and loved them all! Even Matt joined in and had the Sour Grapes. Here’s what they picked!
Sour Grapes
Matt, my teenage grandson, was the first to arrive, so we’ll start with his loaded tea pick from Silver Lining Lessons—Sour Grapes! 🍇🥤
He really liked this loaded tea but the first thing out of his mouth was “LSU.” It is perfect LSU colors so another name for this tea could be Tiger Tail))))
Despite the name, Sour Grapes wasn’t actually sour—it was a tasty mix of grape and Tang flavors. The Silver Lining Lessons recipe called for Waka Raspberry Green Tea powder, but I only had plain green tea powder, so that might have made a difference. Next time, I think I’ll swap out the Sunkist for Nerds Grape to see how it changes the flavor. Visit SLL for the Sour Grapes recipe.
Bahama Mama
Carrie went with Bahama Mama for her loaded tea, and it did not disappoint! 🍊🍍🍒 This mix starts with an orange flavor base, then adds pineapple, more orange, and cherry limeade—a tropical treat in a cup! 🌴☀️
It was delicious, but let’s be honest—it would have been even better if we were sipping it poolside! 😂🥤Visit SLL for the Bahama Mama recipe.
Lula Rich
Taalor chose Lula Rich for her loaded tea, but we couldn’t quite figure out where Silver Lining Lessons got the name. 🤔 At first, we thought it was a nod to Lululemon, but nope—it’s actually from LulaRoe, a completely different company!
LulaRoe is known for its multi-level marketing success story (and a bit of controversy) in the world of women’s clothing sales. Either way, the tea was delicious, even if the name had us guessing! 😆
Lula Rich starts with a citrus base and blends strawberry starfruit with pineapple passion fruit for a refreshing mix. 🌞🍓🍍 What makes it extra fun? It’s three colors! 🎨✨ Of course, like all loaded teas, they eventually blend together, but it sure is pretty to start with! 😆🥤 Visit SLL for the Lula Rich recipe.
Silver Lining Lessons
I always want to credit Jana at Silver Lining Lessons for her recipes. She has come up with all these delicious loaded teas and flavored waters I’ve been trying. It really is a lot of fun, putting the flavors together, and next to impossible to pick a favorite!
If you’re interested in making your own loaded tea and saving money too, check out the SLL website. I’m adding new recipes to my collection every few days. I still don’t think I’ve seen all the available recipes on SLL there are so many!
