Dana’s “Misty Meadow”
Description: It was about this time of year when I visited Ireland. One of my favorite memories from that trip was a quiet train ride through the countryside.

Katie’s “Cheesecake Cha”
Description: Cheese...tea. Those words don't normally appear anywhere near each other, let alone describe one drink. But in Asia, where dairy already strikes many people as odd, adding a sweet, creamy foam to tea is a gentle way to sample a strange thing. In the same spirit, this recipe makes the unknown more approachable in the form of the ultimate blueberry cheesecake beverage. The result is familiar yet adventurous, and is sure to surprise you!
Yield: 1, 12 oz. Drink
Ingredients:
• 1 Bag of Mighty Leaf Organic Green Tea Tropical Iced Tea
• 1 oz. of Monin Blueberry Fruit Purée
• 4 oz. of Softened Cream Cheese
• 13 oz. of Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 ½ oz. (or 6 pumps) of Monin Vanilla Syrup
• Water
• Ice
Directions:
1. Iced Tea: In a gallon container, add the green tea and ⅓ gallon of hot water. Steep the tea for 4 minutes, then remove the tea bag, add ⅔ gallon of cold water and refrigerate it.
2. Whipped Cream Cheese: Mix softened cream cheese with the heavy cream and vanilla syrup. Strain the mixture and pour it into a Brushed Stainless Steel Cream iSi Profi (1 pint/half liter capacity). Seal the Profi, attach a new N2O Professional Cream Charger, and shake it well.
3. Assemble The Drink: Pour 6 ounces of iced green tea into a glass and stir in the blueberry purée. Add ice, leaving an inch of room. Top it with the whipped cream cheese and garnish with additional blueberry purée. Sip straight from the cup like the cheese tea purists do, or stir it first if you want to drink from a straw.
