Today we had an extraordinary hot day. Perfect time to make some chilled ice tea. You can make a big pitcher and sip on it all day. The camomile and lavender works relaxing while the lime, lemon and ginger add a refreshing splash!
Ingredients:
• one gallon of water
• 10 t. camomile
• 8 t. of lavendar
• juice of one small lemon
• juice of one small lime
• 2 inch of fresh ginger, peeled
1. In a large pot bring the gallon of water to a boil. When it boils, turn off the burner and add the lavender and chamomile.
2. Brew for 20 minutes. Transfer to a pitcher using a strainer to strain out all the flowers.
3. Chill in the fridge until cold. Add the lemon and lime juice.
4. Cut the ginger so it fits in a garlic press, squeeze the ginger juice out of it, making sure to catch it in the pitcher.
5. Stir it up and enjoy with a fresh lemon slice, some ice cubes and maybe even a tiny squeeze of raw agave nectar.
