Berry and Raspberry Zinger (I've been making them for him to take to work); my daughter loves the Country Peach and I love them all and the original GGMS with ginger. . I also found a sweet place for my doonk, too.., this spice jar works perfect! (I just received the Pure Stevia so have not used it yet). I save Starbucks Trenta size cups for "on the go" GGMS. Quick recipe: fill large cup or Quart jar full of ice, pour 1 T. ACV, add tea bag of choice and 2 tsp. THM Sweet Blend (or to taste) over ice and fill with water. Stir and let set for about 15 min for tea to seep. Quick note: it's amazing how slow the ice melts in these drinks. Lasts for hours even in hot temps!
