Summer Spritzer
Here is a wonderful summer drink made with both fresh and dried herbs to help keep you cool during the hot days of summer!
Ingredients:
2 sprigs fresh lemon balm
2 sprigs fresh spearmint
1 tbsp dried licorice root
2 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers
1 cup of organic apple juice
1 cup sparkling mineral water
1/2 lemon or lime
Take the fresh herbs, wash and chop lightly to get more surface area and put all the herbs in a large glass jar (about 3 pints) and add freshly boiled water, let sit for about 15 minutes. Strain into a clean jug (careful it’s still hot!) and let cool completely in the refrigerator. When cool add the apple and lemon/lime juice with the sparkling water and serve over ice. You now have an incredibly refreshing, cooling and calming summer time drink to enjoy and share with family and friends!
