Green tea can come in the form of loose leaf tea, tea bags, or in a powder ground up form called matcha. Turns out, this stuff packs a lot of nutritional power! Research shows that adding green tea to your diet helps with a wide range of heart related issues and has also been shown to decrease cancerous tumor growth! Read below about more benefits of drinking green tea!
PRO TIP: Brew some green tea at home using hot water. Sweeten with honey or agave, to taste and allow the beverage to cool. Once it comes to room temperature or lower, fill a tall glass with ice cubes, pour in your sweet green tea, garnish with lemon, and enjoy!
Keep spreading love, good people!

Green Tea Margherita
First of all, if you smell what the rock is cooking, make sure you grab some of his tequila too. I don’t claim to be any sort of expert, but Teremana is some pretty freakin’ good stuff. For this Margherita you’ll need:
Silver Tequila (preferably Teremana)
Triple Sec
1 Orange
Brewed Green Tea
I made my green tea at home, sweetened it with honey, and then chilled it before using. You can also use your favorite store bought green tea.
Fill a glass & cocktail shaker with ice. Set the glass aside
Add 2 parts tequila, 2 parts green tea, 1 part triple sec to cocktail shaker. Put top on and shake vigorously.
Serve contents in prepared glass. Top with more green tea, if needed.
Add a fresh squeeze of orange juice and piece of the reserved peel for garnish.
You can “WOW” your friends with this one, or just enjoy in the peace of your own company. Either way, cheers to relaxing and responsible imbibing.
You must be 21+ to drink alcohol. Darla’s Bagel’s does not condone or consent to underage drinking or aiding a minor in the solicitation for such.

Add the can of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic, honey, half the salt and pepper, and Calabrian chili powder, if you have it. Mix together and taste. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once sauce begins to bubble, adjust the heat and bring sauce to a very gentle simmer. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally so sauce doesn’t burn the bottom of the pot.
When ready to eat, add lemon juice and mix in.
