Happy Captain Picard day! That’s right, June 16th officially belongs to the Captain—or at least as close as we can calculate it to be in 2016. It’s a day to celebrate Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a role model to children and all. On this day we are going to showcase the Captain’s favorite drink, Earl Grey tea.

While the Captain rarely deviates from how he orders it—Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.—it’s easy to use Earl Grey in non-traditional ways to get the full experience of Picard’s drink of choice.

However you choose to enjoy your afternoon tea, get ready to have a very happy Captain Picard day. Engage!
