We are still in the thralls of Winter here on the East Coast. But with the promise of Spring in the air, I wanted to get my girlfriends together for brunch. I can't do a party without some sort of theme, so I decided we should have an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatter party. Too bad I couldn't find a Mad Hatter hat!
For the party, I served mini sandwiches, thumbprint cookies, salad, and fruit. But it's not a brunch without tea!
Growing up there was only one kind of tea my Grandmother would use- Lipton. With their new black and herbal varieties and improved green teas, I knew Lipton had the perfect teas for this brunch.
Lipton Teas are great hot or iced. I like to start my morning with a hot cup of any of their black tea. While my husband is addicted to my southern sweet iced teas. Herbal teas are my go to when I am feeling under the weather for just need a little pick me up. However you like your tea, Lipton has a flavorful selection for you to choose from.
The new Lipton Black Teas have unique flavors and bold aromas that put a twist on traditional black tea. The Enticing Chai is one of my favorites, yum! Along with the new teas, Lipton has updated their green teas for a light, fresh taste, bright clearer color, and an aroma to uplift your senses.
Aside from the hot tea, I made two iced teas as well using the new Lipton Herbal Teas. The real ingredients inside the herbal blends make for a flavorful tea drinking experience. One is a twist on an old classic, The Arnold Palmer. The other, a tasty, herbal Green Tea mix.

I’ve never really been a tea drinker although I ALWAYS have peppermint tea in my kitchen. These new flavors may be something for me to try.
Lots of choices! It would be perfect for Mother’s Day Brunch or a family get together!
