Do you ever get the midday blues, like I do?? What is your go-to picker-upper?? Normally, I would reach for coffee until I found Bigelow Tea American Breakfast while shopping at Walmart!
The new American Breakfast varieties of Bigelow Tea have 50% more caffeine, perfect for my normal afternoon crash.
And, if you know me at all by now, you know I love a good treat! Afternoon tea time is no exception. I’ve made these cute, amazingly delicious Mini Lemon Meringue Pies to go with my Bigelow tea!
These are really simple to make as well, definitely a win win!
Make sure to make these the day of that you are serving and eating them, the filo cups will get soggy on the bottom.

YUM! Bigelow Tea has many flavors in their American Breakfast line.
My favorite is the black tea and honey, lemon and honey goes so well together!
American Breakfast tea gets it’s help from Theanine, a naturally occurring compound unique to tea. Theanine combined with caffeine gives a sustained energy boost with a feeling of relaxation and focus that only tea provides.
What I love most about the Bigelow Tea company is they are 100% All American. Made by an American family; an American Company for the American consumer.
If you live near Charleston or go there visiting, Bigelow Tea’s Charleston Plantation is open and guests are invited there for weddings, tours and a variety of music festivals.
One last amazing talking point about Bigelow Tea is their Troops Program. Almost 4 million bags of tea has been sent to our troops overseas and you can find more about that here!
I really hoped you liked today’s lemon meringue pies! Remember to grab your American Breakfast Tea in the coffee/tea aisle at Walmart!

These mini-meringue pies are adorable. There are too many treats I enjoy with tea to list. Tea is a staple here and I can’t imagine not having a cup in the evening. Visiting from SITS. Have a great weekend!
These look so yummy and beautiful at the same time. My husband loves lemon meringue pie so he will love these.
Thanks,

These look so beautiful! Lemon meringue pie is my husband’s favorite. I’ll have to make these for him! Pinning to Pinterest!
I just tried this recipe but the meringue came out leathery and tough, so strange. The filling was delicious though!
