The sun has got its hat on! And what better way to celebrate and enjoy soaking up the sun than with a delicious and refreshing drink This is our Dorset Tea-Tail, made with our summery blend Strawberries & Cream.

You can prepare this drink in advance and it is the perfect crowd pleaser if you have family or friends coming over for a BBQ or garden drinks! It can be left as a non alcoholic refreshing tea or you could add in your favourite tipple to start the party off! Of course, please drink responsibly.
