If you're participating in Dry January or simply looking to cut back on your alcohol consumption, you may be wondering what alternatives you can turn to for a tasty and refreshing drink. Purple tea is a great option to consider as it is not only delicious and unique in flavor, but it also has potential health benefits.

Purple tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, just like green, black, and white teas, but it is processed differently to give it its distinct purple color. It is rich in antioxidants and is believed to have anti-inflammatory, and immunity boosting properties, making it a great choice for those looking to improve their health and wellness. In addition to its health benefits, purple tea is also incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it a perfect choice for both warm and cold weather. It can also be easily incorporated into mocktails for a refreshing and non-alcoholic alternative to traditional cocktails.

So if you're looking for a tasty and healthy way to switch things up during Dry January, give purple tea a try. You might just find a new favorite drink! The best thing about these recipes is that they can be enjoyed while hosting a new year gathering, while you’re home, after a workout, and even great to make and take on-the-go.
