Top Tips

If you heading out to a party and fancy something different then why not make your own Scarsdale cocktail? Take one plain club soda, a slice of lemon or lime and pour into a long glass over ice. Refreshing and looks the part too!

Add a slice of lemon to your hot tea or water, not only will it create a nice flavor but will also assist in flushing out any toxins thanks to the lemons natural diuretic properties.

Sample a variety of herbal teas so that you feel like you are trying something different. Most herbal teas also have added relaxation benefits.
