THE TEA HOUND

What’s In It For You?

In this recipe, we use our Unexpected Fling Organic Green Tea, which is antioxidant-rich, helps boosts metabolism, burn fat, and increase hydration plus has zero calories! We also use pink grapefruit juice, which is high in potassium and in vitamins A and C. Pink grapefruit juice also helps strengthen your immune system. Who knew an alcoholic beverage could be so healthy?

3 Shots of our Unexpected Fling Organic Green Tea 

1 Shots of Vodka (we recommend Belvedere)
