I LOVE TEA.
& lately, for some reason…I’VE BEEN A REAL TEA DRINKER.
My champagne consumption has decreased lately ( needed a little break! ) so I’ve been loading up on the TEA ( basically the holidays have ended & alcohol hasn’t really been around too much ).
Anyway, I’m very, VERY specific about which teas I drink. So when I discovered Celestial Seasonings Strawberry Champagne tea, I nearly fainted.
BECAUSEEEEEE?
Well the reasons are endless: Valentine’s Day is next week…so UH DUH, the perfect tea for V-Day, right?! And it’s champagne (!!!) tea without the guilt. LOVE.
Oh, & it’s delicious iced OR hot. YUMMM.
Seriously though, this Strawberry Champagne black tea is kinda like a full dessert without the cals.
But let’s get real here: you can’t give me Strawberry Champagne tea & expect me to never actually add the champagne. Since I needed to ‘test’ recipes for Valentine’s Day, I made this quick, easy sweet tea recipe.
Presenting:
♡ The Skinny Confidential’s Pink Sweet Tea ♡
1 strawberry/champagne tea bag
1 cup champagne
1/2 cup strawberries, muddled
Lemon, squeezed
Ice
Directions: grab a glass & add ice and champagne. Add 1-2 tea bags to champagne. Let sit for five minutes. Muddle strawberries with lemon juice. Add to champagne ‘tea’. Remove tea bag. Garnish with lemon. Cheers!
By the way, if you’re looking for a Valentine’s tea, these teas also come in Red Velvet Rooibos ( YUMMM!! ) & Chocolate Carmel Herbal Tea ( << way to a man’s heart right here ) so add a little Bailey’s to either & thank me later. Plus, they come in super cute, festive containers that are adorable to use all year round ( or for birthdays/holidays/parties, not just V-Day ).
You can find these teas at your local Target ( I LOVVVVE Target, like really it’s the best store EVER ) but hurry – because they’re only available for a limited time!
What’s your favorite, flirty way to spice up V-Day?! Tell, tell.
Cheers! – Lauryn, xx
That looks and sounds amazing! I’m definitely going to see if my Target carries it.

This sounds so refreshing. I think my mimosas are going to get a makeover at the next Ladies’ Brunch! I’ll definitely have to try it out.
I saw these at Target last week and I was so tempted to buy them! They were so fragrant.
Looks Yummy. I can imagine that with flower ice cubs it would be perfect for Valentine’s day.

Oh man!! Sounds like a great combo and such a cute colour! Do they make life in that?!
Totally snagged this tea today at Tarjayyy! Can’t wait to try this recipe! Cheers lady!
This is such a good idea! I’ve seen this tea in stores and was intrigued, but didn’t end up getting it. I love champagne and champagne cocktails, and I love them even more when they’re easy to make. Definitely saving this for the V-day themed birthday dinner I’m hosting for a friend this week!
Hi Lauryn,
I know you’re super conscientious about GMOs, pesticides, etc. so check into the Celestial Seasonings tea b/c I remember reading about high pesticide levels in their ‘natural’ teas….

I LOVE teas! I have an entire cabinet in my kitchen overflowing with teas! This one sounds amazing and I love the idea of serving it in an old fashioned champagne glass.
