At The Tea Spot, we love mixology, and of course, we love our teas, so we’ve come up with some amazing, satisfying, and totally mocktail recipes. Best of all, they’re totally easy to DIY, will wow your palate and your guests, and are easier on the wallet and the without the booze. These are perfect for dry January, or if you just want a refreshing adult drink that doesn’t skimp on the pomp but offers a break from alcohol.
