Springtime Coffee Favorites
It's that time of year...
Spring cleaning is in full swing, pollen is in the air, and everything is blooming as winter takes a rest for a few months.
Nothing says springtime to me like a fresh, non-toxic cleaner in an amber spray bottle, a fresh bouquet of flowers on the counter and a tasty tea or iced coffee to smooth out my morning. So here, to brighten your day a little more are some tried and true springtime tea and coffee favorites from my kitchen to yours.
