Depending on which city you live in, spring is either keeping you frozen or starting to warm you up. If you’re beginning to feel more of spring’s heat, then pollen is probably beginning to come in. If you have to stay bundled up, at least sunshine is making its way through the gloomy winter clouds. No matter what season you are currently feeling, you can always rely on a cup of tea or coffee to lift up your spirits. We put together four drink creations that you can create at home that may help soothe congestion, give you a boost, or help you wind down on the weekend!

This Butterbeer tea is more of a comforting sweet, warm drink. Since this recipe is combined with a Vanilla Bean Macaron tea and a Vanilla Caramel tea, mixing in milk and cream will not only add to the drink’s flavor but also give it a perfect golden hue. For some added texture, throw in a handful of butterscotch pieces and top it off with whipped cream and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Stir up your coffee creation in this “Mom Life is the Best Life” mug. For all the moms out there, this cup is a wonderful reminder that while “mom-life” can be difficult at times, it’s extremely rewarding and worth it!
