Galentine's Day Tea Cocktails
While Valentine’s Day is a holiday centered around romantic love with one’s partner, it can also be for showing love to your family and friends. Galentine’s Day, which takes place on February 13th, is a day that celebrates the love of friendship. This celebration was first mentioned in an episode of the tv show Parks and Recreation by Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope in an episode named, “Galentine’s Day”. In the episode Leslie invites her best “gal pals” as she calls them, over for a brunch full of waffles and love. While waffles are always a good idea, today we have something even better, Galentine’s Day themed tea cocktails! Below we have curated some of the best tea cocktail recipes to enjoy with your very own Gal Pals.
