Yesterday at the grocery store, Monk saw me picking up a bottle of limeade. I’m determined to recreate Peet’s Jasmine Tea Lime Cooler at home (I’m addicted) and this was going to be my first attempt. As I reach for the bottle, Monk – who all of the sudden is talking very loudly these days – say, “Maragrita Mix!” I turned a little red. What to do? We do have a brand of mix at home in the fridge that looks strikingly similar, and truth be told, approx. 85% of all limeade sales are for making margaritas (just kidding – made that one up.) I kind of chuckled, said a little under my breath, “What’s that?” and headed to the checkout stand.

Jasmine Tea Lime Cooler Recipe
1. Brew 1/4 cup loose jasmine tea in 12 oz. hot water; steep for 5 minutes. *Note – one comment suggests that this is too long. I suspect it has to do with the quality of jasmine tea you have. I agree – 5 minutes may be too long for high quality jasmine tea. Follow the instructions on your tea package.
2. Drain tea concentrate and stir 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
3. Add 12 oz. limeade
4. Stir and pour into cups with ice
