As Christmas comes to an end and this year winds down, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’ve dedicated a lot of time to re-structuring my life in this post-pandemic world. While that process alone is something that really nourishes me, I’ve also realized that I haven’t done much celebrating. I’ve felt a weight on my shoulders and that is probably the culprit. This has been a year of discipline and hard work. And for that I think I need more happy times. With that in mind, lets end the year with a completely indulgent recipe. Jasmine green tea mimosas! This is a spin on a traditional mimosa with jasmine and green tea infused. If you’re looking to spice things up, this is it.
Jasmine green tea is wonderful. It’s the perfect mixture of all of the reasons I love tea. It also makes a wonderful additional to cocktails due to the natural sweetness jasmine offers.
Look for a reason to celebrate. You’ve accomplished a lot. Give yourself some credit and reflect on things you nailed this year. Grab some friends and drink some fancy mimosas in fancy glasses. There’s only a couple days left of 2022, make them memorable.
You can find these beautiful glasses here. They were the whole inspiration behind the recipe. As I always say, it’s the little things in life, right?
