Wild Berry Tea

Summer is the time to beat the heat!  We love making our own special beverages together.  Sure it's easy to grab a package or container of an artificially sweetened and dye colored drink to add some spice to the day but the health detriments far outweigh the pleasure.

Instead, check out the tea selection at your local grocery store or better yet your local farmer's market might have loose leaf teas!  Read the labels and pick some flavors you might like that are just natural tea leaves.

Brew the tea according to the directions on the package and add the amount of sweetener you like.  We add 1/2 of a cup of sweetener such as Agave Nector or Local Honey to a gallon of tea.

It's easy to get a glass jar and let the sun brew your tea!  Just add your tea bags to a jar of filtered water.  Set it out in the hot sun for a few hours.  Then add your sweetener if you would like.

In our house this takes the place of store bought juice.  The color is unbeatable and the flavor is amazing.
