IN.
IN. DURING THIS TIME AT HOME, I
LOVE A GOOD TEA AND CHAMOMILE
IS ALLURING. I MADE A CHAMOMILE
MARTINI, MOCKTAIL STYLE. IT'S
SUPER EASY. YOU CAN STEEP YOUR
CHAMOMILE TEA WITH TWO OR THREE
BAGS TO GET IT GOOD AND STRONG.
IT'S ALSO A LITTLE BIT BITTER.
YOU PUT A WHOLE OUNCE AND A HALF
OF THAT INSIDE THE SHAKER. YOU
CAN ALSO SHAKE IN A MASON JAR.
YOU CAN USE YOUR FAVORITE
SWEETENER LIKE A GOD THEY.
I HAVE HONEY WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF WATER AS MY SWEETENER.
I HAVE ABOUT AN OUNCE AND YOU
KNOW YOUR SWEETNESS TASTE. TO
EACH HIS OWN.
AND YOU HAD THAT HONEY TO THE
TEA THAT IS WARM.
THEN YOU TAKE A GRAPEFRUIT AND
SLICE IT INTO A HALF AND THEN
INTO QUARTERS AND I'M GOING TO
CHOOSE THAT BABY.

FOR US, ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME
OF YEAR WITH A DOSE OF VITAMIN C

TIME. YOU COULD ADD GIN OR VODKA
OR ANY OF THE CLEAR SPIRITS
COULD GO RIGHT IN THEIR THERE.
YOU CAN POUR IT INTO YOUR
FAVORITE GLASS.
FAVORITE GLASS. EVEN IN MY DRY MOMENTS, MY MIND
WANTS A BEAUTIFUL GLASS. JUST
BECAUSE WERE NOT DRINKING
DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T DESERVE A
PRETTY GLASS. WERE GOING TO
STRAIN THAT RIGHT IN WITH SOME
ORANGE OIL ON TOP. I AM AS DRY
AS I WANT TO BE THIS MORNING.

I WANT SOMETHING, BUT I'M NOT
DRINKING.
DRINKING.
DRINKING. HOW ABOUT GETTING AN OLD-
FASHIONED GLASS AND DILL IT THE
WAY WE DOING CLASSICAL FASHION
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR.
I'M A BROWN SUGAR GIRL BECAUSE
IT IS TASTY. PUT A LITTLE
MOLASSES THERE.

ALCOHOL, BUT ONLY A FEW DROPS.

OTHER NIGHT OR YOUR FAVORITE
COLD BREW. THAT GOES RIGHT INTO
MY GLASS.

YOUR COCKTAILS AND I'M SURE IT
IS FABULOUS.

FLAVORS, BUT WE HAVE TO BALANCE
THEM TO WHAT WE LIKE.

STIR. >>
STIR. >> Reporter: IT IS DRY, BUT IF
YOU WANTED A LITTLE BIT OF
SOMETHING-SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD
YOU RECOMMEND?
YOU RECOMMEND? >> YOU COULD USE TEQUILA OR GO
FOR THE SCOTCH.
YOU DON'T WANT THAT WITH TWO
ANSWERS IN YOUR COFFEE
COCKTAIL.

COCKTAIL. YOU WANT MORE COFFEE. I WOULD
DO TWO OUNCES OF COFFEE WITH
JUST ONE OUNCE OF YOUR SPIRIT.

CREATIVE, AS ALWAYS.
