Hibiscus Tea

I saw this on Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals a few days ago and it has quickly become a new favorite.

4 tea bags of Hibiscus Tea or some other floral, fruity tea (I have raspberry that I used)
1-2 T sugar
a sprig of mint
orange peel
lemon peel

Place tea bags and sugar in a pitcher. Add boiling water until half way up the pitcher. Then add mint, orange and lemon peel. Take the tea bags out and fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water or ice until full. Serve over ice.

A New Year

It always seems like this time of the year is a particularly hard time to blog, but I also feel like all my creativity has been zapped by this pregnancy. But now that I'm over the hump, things may change. Anyway, we just found out that we will be welcoming a baby boy to our family this June! We are excited for the new year.
