Pink Things

Wherever you are....have a pink day!

Two Pink Smoothies

Strawberry Smoothie of Awesome # 1. This delight is flavored with coconut milk and lime. The original image and recipe can be found HERE. 

Awesome Strawberry Smoothie #2. This baby uses real cream. I totally approve. You can find this lovely HERE.

Since I can't decide which looks better, I will be trying them both.

A Pretty Pink Balcony

A buddy of mine pinned this picture from Apartment Therapy on Pinterest, isn't it charming? Look closely at the cup on the table. It's a MOOMIN cup! (You can read about my Moomin love here.) And you can find the cup here.

I want to be sitting at that table! Drinking from a Moomin cup!

Strawberry White Hot Chocolate

Now that it's Spring, this Strawberry Hot Chocolate from Bakingdom looks like a more fitting warm drink than traditional cocoa hot chocolate, don't you think? Especially when it's topped with rainbow sprinkled whipped cream hearts?

Cherry Blossom Cordial & Pink Lemonade

Ok pink lemonade is self explanatory. Pink lemonade is waaaaay better then regular lemonade. (Because of the pinkness, duh.)

But this other one! I want, I need, I MUST TRY this pretty pink drink! First of all, I love grenadine. Did you know that in France, grenadine and water is a drink all by itself? It's like a Shirley Temple, minus the 7-Up soda. Did you all drink Shirley Temple's when you were little? I loved that drink with all of my being.

I am going to rename this drink Cherry Blossom Cordial because that sounds awesome.

Cherry Blossom Cordial

Ingredients:

2 cups water

1 tablespoon cherry blossom tea or any floral white tea

3/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Simple Syrup

1 1/2 tablespoon grenadine

Directions:

1. Heat the water in a medium pan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add tea, and let sit 2 minutes. Strain immediately, and refrigerate liquid right away until cold, about 1 hour.

2. Combine tea, lemon juice, simple syrup, and grenadine. Pour over ice when ready to serve.

Serves 5.

Pink Parfait Girl's Tea Hat

I do believe this would be any little girl's dream....to wear this to a fancy (or even not-so-fancy) tea party, or garden party, or fairy party! Or an it's Thursday party!

You can find this little girl tea hat, along with one in yellow, over at Tea With Grace.

Oh and I also believe that the only appropriate drink at such an affair would be Berries and Cream Sweet tea.
