Mom’s 10-Minute Escape: Citrus Mint Mojito Mocktail from Happy Valley Tea Company

You ever hide in the bathroom just to get 5 minutes alone?
Same! But here's a better escape plan: a Citrus Mint Mojito Mocktail that sips like a spa day and tastes like you don't have a to-do list.

Yesterday, I made this with one hand while bribing my toddler with Goldfish. Ten minutes later, I was sipping something bubbly, minty, and magically calming—like a beach breeze in my kitchen. No booze, no guilt, no “mom juice” jokes… just peace in a glass.

Citrus Mint Mojito Mocktail (Zero Booze, Max Vibe)

Serves: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 10 minutes (optional)

🌿 Ingredients:

• 1 Citrus Mint Mojito tea bag (Happy Valley, of course 😉)

• ½ cup boiling water

• ½ cup cold sparkling water

• Juice of ½ lime

• 1 tsp honey or agave (optional)

• Fresh mint leaves

• Lime wedges & mint sprig (for garnish)

• Ice

🧊 Instructions:

1. Steep it:
   Brew 1 Citrus Mint Mojito tea bag in ½ cup boiling water for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

2. Muddle the mint:
   In a glass, gently muddle a few fresh mint leaves with lime juice and honey (if using). Think spa-day vibes, not smash-it-to-bits.

3. Mix & chill:
   Add ice to your glass, pour in the cooled tea, then top with sparkling water.

4. Garnish & sip:
   Add a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for that chef’s kiss finish. Stir it up and enjoy the citrusy, minty refresh.
