Thirsty Thursday - Pomegranate Ginger Spritzer

Happy Thirsty Thursday everyone! If you didn't catch the memo last week we have changed things up a little bit. We will do Tutorial Tuesdays, Wordless Wednesdays, and Thirsty Thursdays, and keep your eyes peeled because we have a lot of things planned for the blog. 

This week I made Pomegranate Ginger Spritzer. NO! It does not have alcohol in it. First thing my husband said when I brought him a drink "but I don't drink" as if I forgot being his wife. The original recipe which I am posting did not make anywhere near as much as I thought. It would be a good amount if your whipping it up to have with dinner, but if you were going to entertain I would double, or even triple the amounts.

Thirsty Thursday - Minted Sweet Tea

UPDATE: This post was featured on

Hey everyone, Megan here! Welcome to Thirsty Thursday! Emily mentioned in our last blog post that last week us girls had our girl's night out. We discussed the blog and threw around a few ideas to bring some fresh new content to you guys. Thirsty Thursday was one of those ideas. I decided to take the first Thirsty Thursday because while we out we went to a local restaurant in Savannah called the Toucan Cafe.  This restaurant is a remodeled house and the food is really good but the place definitely needs a paint job. Anyway, they have the most amazing minted sweet tea ever. Me, being the southern girl I am, I just had to make a copy cat. So, presenting Thirsty Thursday's first drink ever...

Refreshing and tasty!

Ingredients:

6-8 tea bags ( I use one family sized tea bag)
1 pitcher full of water
1 cup chopped mint
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Pour your pitcher of water into a large pot and heat to boiling.

2. Turn of heat and place your tea bags into the water. Let steep for 10 minutes, covered.

3. Meanwhile, place your 1/2 cup water, sugar, and mint in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil on a medium-high heat. Once the syrup is boiling and all the sugar has dissolved, removed from heat and let cool.

4. Pour your tea into your pitcher and place a strainer over the top of the pitcher. Pour in the syrup straining the mint leaves out of the syrup mixture. Stir.

BAM! Minted sweet tea. If it's not minty enough for you add more mint. Not sweet enough? Add more sugar. And that's this week's addition of Thirsty Thursday! See you guys tomorrow for Favorite Finds Friday.

Ceiling Fan Redo

Happy Tuesday everybody! What... huh? A tutorial posting on a Tuesday? Yes it's true! Melissa Megan and I went out for a girls night last Friday and we decided that we want to start posting more and chose to do Tutorial Tuesday and drum roll please.... Thirsty Thursday! 

On to today's posting.. We are in the process of redo-ing Scarlett's room. In a 112 year old house it's a process, a lengthy process. You never know what you are going to find behind the walls, it's like Christmas if Santa had a very bad sense of humor. I hate the look of plain white fans, but we didn't want to put out a lot of money for a child's room, at least just yet, so I used scrapbook paper to update her fan into something totally unique.
