Berbere Sloppy Joes
A childhood favorite goes global with the fragrant, earthy flavors of
the Ethiopian spice blend, Berbere (pronounced ber-beray).
Boss Banana Bread
What could be better than banana bread and tea? How about tea IN your banana bread? You can’t believe how good this is until you try it! This recipe uses Rooibos (roy-boss) tea but be adventurous! What about Dark Chocolate black tea, or Moonlight Grey? Oooh – what about Huckleberry creme? I think it would make an incredible banana-berry bread if you used our Raspberry Splash Rooibos with maybe cinnamon and cardamom for spices? I’ll be trying all sorts of combinations – let us know if you find one you love!

Citrus Habanero Flank Steak
You’ll swear this is the best flank steak ever when you use this marinade recipe from the vaults of Spice & Vine Mercantile. Full of citrus flavor with a hint of heat. Heat it up more with our Jalapeno Seasoning Salt or our Ghost Pepper Sea Salt.
