Happy Holidays

As we wrap up 2023, remember that it is important to take care of yourself year-round. Taking care of yourself allows you to be able to be more present and enjoy the holidays for years to come. Over the holidays taking care of yourself might look different, and that’s okay. Enjoy your favorite holiday dish, rest as needed, laugh with loved ones, and be gentle with yourself.

Non-Alcoholic Hot Not Toddy Tea

Recipe Spotlight!

Warm up with a Non-Alcoholic Hot Not Toddy Tea. Any type of tea will make a great hot not-toddy, so explore your options. While waiting for your tea to brew, pour the extra water from your teapot into the glass or mug you’ll be using. This warms up the mug and keeps your not-toddy hot longer. Dump the water before building the drink.
