Tea time
Instant or slow brewed, sweetened or unsweetened, iced tea hits the spot on a warm day. Now is a good time to kick back, relax and enjoy National Iced Tea Day (June 10) with a refreshing glass.
Raise your glass
AN ALTERNATIVE to carbonated soft drinks and a good source of antioxidants, iced tea can be delicious plain or customized with the squeeze of a lemon; a handful of other fruits, like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries; or the addition of herbs, like mint, thyme or basil. Brewed, unsweetened black iced tea has just 2 calories and less than a gram of carbohydrates in a 237-millilitre (8-ounce) serving. Find tea in Costco warehouses and at Costco.ca.

Make it a #FlowerFriday
Commit to a weekly (or monthly) colour infusion and pick up fresh flowers on your regular Costco run. Fresh flowers, when purchased regularly (or for special occasions), can help perk up your day, desk or dining room table. Look for the flower display in your local Costco warehouse or check out the offerings at Costco.ca.
