Tips and Tricks:

  • Tea Time: Experiment with different types of tea! Green tea, hibiscus tea, or even a fruity herbal tea can add unique flavor profiles to your Teajito.
  • Sweet Alternatives: If you’re looking to cut down on sugar, try using natural sweeteners like agave nectar or honey.
  • Sparkling Fun: For a fizzy twist, top off your Teajito with a splash of club soda or sparkling water.
