TEA-time takes on a whole new meaning for Bigelow Tea as The Masters golf tournament kicks into high gear. Whether you’re lucky enough to attend the actual event in Augusta, or are simply watching it on the big screen at home, the cheering and excitement will make you thirsty! In the spirit of the sport—and to honor the man who has won 4 green jackets at the Masters—you may be in the mood to swig a few Arnold Palmer-inspired drinks (beverages that use both lemonade and iced tea). With a few bags of Bigelow Half & Half Iced Tea & Lemonade with Pomegranate, you can enjoy a wonderfully chilled pitcher of oh-so refreshing “Sangri-Tea-ahh.” Tea lovers like @PatrickEhland enjoy Bigelow Tea either hot or iced, so give this recipe a try with some friends and tweet all about it! #JustAddBigelow!
