Summer Herbal Teas

Sign in to review or comment
Experiment with herbal sun teas this summer. In the morning, add herbs and water to your favorite mason jar and place outside in the sun. Using heat from the sun instead of boiling water allows the herbs to retain a great deal of flavor. Watch as the color takes on a new, vibrant hue as the hours go by. These teas, excellent for a mid-afternoon cool-down, can be served chilled or even on ice, garnished with mint, lemon or lime. Here are some herbs to play with: Mint, rose, hibiscus, chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender. Summer is the time of fun, so be playful!

May we Suggest Hibiscus and Mint

Hibiscus with mint is particularly refreshing on a summer's day. Summer heat taxes your liver. Hibiscus improves liver function and provides cool relief. Aromatic mint disperses fluids and heat, leaving a cooling after effect. The two together create a sense of opening and relief, like letting out a big sigh. Your body will feel calm and relaxed.

Luscious, vibrant pink hibiscus, interspersed with bright green mint soaking in a jar in the sun, lending their color to the water is nourishing to the sense of sight as well as the taste buds and blood. Pitta is soothed by beauty and this tea is nothing short of beautiful. To make this bright pink tea, visit the recipe here:
