"Guys, I&amp;#x27;ve found my summer fling, and I think it&amp;#x27;s getting serious&amp;amp;#8212;we might actually make it past Labor Day. Ahem, I&amp;#x27;m talking about tea, of course. Recently, I made the switch to ordering tea instead whenever I&amp;#x27;m out on a coffee run, and I&amp;#x27;ve been loving my daily tea time. Too-strong coffee makes me feel very buzzy&amp;amp;#8212;which can sometimes inhibit my productivity at work or make me feel lightheaded and shaky. Yikes. Tea makes a better option for a caffeinated pick-me-up for me, so I wanted to share some of the new (and new-ish) tea drinks I&amp;#x27;ve been sipping on all summer: First of all, Lipton just released K-Cups this July. Hot tea K-Cups are available, but their Lipton Refresh iced sweet tea is my go-to at-home treat. Plus, they&amp;#x27;re available to buy at nationwide grocers. For entertaining friends, this recipe for Blueberry Kona Pop Iced Tea from the folks at Teavana fits the bill. It&amp;#x27;s a blend of Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea and Pineapple Kona Pop Herbal Tea, best prepared in an infuser pitcher. (Here&amp;#x27;s one they suggest, though it&amp;#x27;s a little pricey for my budget.) Ingredients 12 tsp. German rock sugar 12 tsp. Pineapple Kona Pop Herbal Tea 12 tsp. Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea 1 pineapple, skinned and cored 1 cup blueberries Directions Remove tea infuser from pitcher Add sugar to pitcher and a small amount of hot water to dissolve. Add 12 tsp. of each tea blend to infuser and place in pitcher. Add 64 oz. of boiling water (208 degrees) to pitcher. Steep for 10 minutes. Remove infuser. Pour tea into ice-filled glasses. Slice thick circular wedge of pineapple, cut slit. Skewer pineapple wedge and three blueberries and use as garnish. When it comes to work-time coffee runs, I&amp;#x27;ve been ordering Starbucks&amp;#x27; new peach green tea. At only 60 calories for a tall 12 ounce, it&amp;#x27;s not as calorie-laden as those caramel-filled drink concoctions. For an extra oomph, you can add lemonade&amp;amp;#8212;though I prefer it plain. Anybody else prefer tea over coffee? What&amp;#x27;s your drink of choice?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
