Herbal Sun Tea
Tools/Ingredients:
Jar, strainer, water, herbs, and sun
For a quart jar use about 2-4 big pinches of herbs and fill with water. Let sit for a few hours minimum.
One of the most pleasurable things about summer sun is its ability to create health through alchemy!
The sun shines on your jar of loose herbs as they bathe in water and their healing properties are released for you to imbibe along with your dinner.
Magic.
You can obtain any number of delicious herbs from most health food stores as well as the variety of herb stores here in NYC- Aphrodisia is my favorite herb shoppe.
Some ideas for herbs: Raspberry Leaf, Spearmint, Peppermint, Chamomile, Nettles, Alfalfa, Hibiscus, Oat Straw. Some are sweet, some more bitter, some so rich in vitamins you can taste it. They can be mixed and matched in any number of ways- the sky is no limit when it comes to creativity here. You can't really go wrong, just a strong or weaker tea. Have fun, nourish yourself, enjoy the riches of the plant kingdom!
