Herbal Sun Tea
Makes 8 cups
Time 6 hr 15 min
Brew up this delicious herb beverage anywhere you have sun—on your porch or patio, on a windowsill or even at a campsite. Garnish the tea with fresh cucumber spears, sliced strawberries or organically grown nasturtium flowers instead of the citrus, if you like.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
