TEA: IT ISN’T JUST FOR DRINKING ANYMORE!
Shangri La Teas are amazingly flavorful… and not just for drinking! Have you tried cooking with tea, perhaps as a rub? Try this Chai Tea Rubbed Steak Spinach Salad with a Spicy Chai Tea Dressing. You’re going to love the flavor you get from the Shangri La Teas!
Or how about this Chai Tea Rubbed Steak Taco with Spicy Chai Tea Slaw. Conveniently wrapped in a warm corn tortilla, these spicy tacos will give you instant street cred!
Shangri La Teas are available at fine restaurants around the world or at shangrilaicedtea.com. Average Betty was commissioned by the Shangri La Tea Company for this recipe and accompanying giveaway.

What a beautiful set (even if the teapot does resemble a curling stone)!
My all-time favorite tea is Earl Grey. As a self-respecting Canadian (and Vancouverite at that), I’d have to say hockey is my favorite Olympic sport.

I LOVE the teapot! (We use an electric kettle, but it’s not nearly as pretty!)
We love the skating events around here. Can’t skate myself, so I live vicariously through the amazing athletes who CAN!
Thanks!

Jasmine Green Tea seems like it would be good to have after you ski down the slope at 40 mph ;)

I would pair the flavor stylings of English Breakfast Tea with the Olympic sport of Figure Skating. Skaters are up early mornings practicing on the cold ice, English Breakfast would help to wake them up, keep them warm, and give them that extra “oomph” to keep up on the ice!
Those flavors sound intoxicating and yummy. Love the fact that tea can be used in the recipes above also. No wonder it’s my favorite drink! Thanks!
