The following recipes have been shared with me by the fine folks at Lipton, so I pass them along to you as they look mighty tasty. I love when brands share out recipes for any event, and as per usual you can substitute your favorite brand of tea or brew your own into the recipes as you see fit. But I do say they all look mighty fine.
Cinnamon, Spice and Iced Tea
This recipe offers a tasty twist on a long-standing holiday drink tradition: grog. Spice up each cup by bringing together sweet-scented cinnamon and crisp apple cider.
 TEA-SPICED GROG
6 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes Stand time: 20 minutes
- 2 bottles 100% Natural Lipton® Iced Tea with Lemon
- 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
Bring all ingredients to a boil over high heat in a 2-quart saucepan. Remove from heat and let stand 20 minutes. Strain out spices and serve warm. If desired, garnish with sliced apples.
TIP: For spiked grog, add 1/4 cup light rum or brandy.
A Sangria Recipe for All Seasons
This sangria recipe is a great go-to for get-togethers because you can mix it hours in advance, leaving you more time to mix with what matters-your guests.
BLACK TEA SANGRIA
6 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes Chill time: 2 hours
- 2 bottles 100% Natural Lipton® Iced Tea with Lemon
- 1 cup unsweetened grape juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 small orange, sliced
- 1 Gala apple, cored and sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
Combine all ingredients in large pitcher. Chill at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
TIP: For an adult version of this Sangria, use dry red wine instead of grape juice.
Also a huge plus to Lipton for realizing a good spiked drink is always welcome at Holiday celebrations. Let me know what you think of these tasty treats.

I have come to the sacred mountains of Juan Valdez seeking the truth and wisdom that has been passed down the generations of coffee gurus. Oh Caffinated One, my quest has been to find the true recipe for a Starbuck’s Mocha Frappuccino and have stumbled upon this ancient text. Is this really that which I seek? And can I make it with a Keurig?
Things You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup fresh espresso
- 2 1/2 cups 2% low fat milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of dry pectin
- pinch of cocoa powder
-
Step 1
First, you’ll need to start by making the espresso. If you have an espresso machine, use it! If you don’t, you can use a drip coffee maker and your favorite coffee (any standard grind will do). Put 1/3 cup of ground coffee in the coffee maker and about 1 cup of water. Then, brew as usual. Now, using the same coffee grounds, run the coffee through the machine again. This should be just enough to make the 1/2 cup of espresso needed for this recipe.
-
Step 2
Now that you have the espresso, gather the following ingredients: fresh espresso, 2% low fat milk, granulated sugar, dry pectin and cocoa powder as specified in the things you’ll need section. Next, combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher or a covered container.
-
Step 3
Stir the ingredients until all of the sugar is dissolved. Put it in the refrigerator and chill. This must be served COLD. Recipe makes about 24 ounces. ENJOY!

Green isn’t only about being ecologically minded these days, its also about celebrating St Patrick’s Day, Celebrating to coming of Spring in the northern hemisphere and hopefully trying to save some cash while you’re doing all of the above. I have a list of awesome website with hilarious and intriguing content we’re going to go over.
What would a Caffination pre St Patty’s day episode be without an Irish Coffee Recipe and explanation. I’ll be putting my own derivation of the Irish coffee recipe out later later this week. Not too much different but I found it tastes a bit better. To top it off we have a metric ton of other content to fill your ears and spice up your dreams. No one i know can afford half of the outlandish gadgets and gizmos i see online, buts its always free to point, laugh or dream isn’t it?
So Please Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
