Let’s shake up your drink selections! Sure, water is good for you. But Passion Tea Lemonade is good for the soul! The next time you’re feeling parched, turn to a nice tall glass of this tangy and sweet drink over ice. It’s super easy to make and it keeps well in the fridge, so you can double, or even triple it, ensuring you basically have it on tap when you want to mix things up. We love Passion Tea Lemonade in the summertime by the pool, but it’s truly tasty any time of the year. And if you’re worried about your H20 intake, this sweet drink includes it… so, it’s basically the same thing, right?! Cheers for that!
