Pink Herbal Iced-Tea


Today I have been delightfully surprised when making my usual herbal infusion of the day.
Following the suggestion of a friend, I added the juice of half a lemon and, surprise-surprise, the outcome is...............SO Pink! 
Most probably by the color of 'purple-ruffles' basil leaves.
_____and since it is summertime here in wonderful Cyprus this jar is going straight to the fridge to be iced.


Recipe ::

Clary sage (Salvia officinalis) ....(I have used 2 different native Cyprus kinds of sage)
Purple ruffles ( (Purple Ocimum basilicum)
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
half a lemon juice

optional* 
3 drops of stevia if you prefer some sweetness

boil water and add the fresh leaves. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and refrigerate.

:: Note That ::
Sage has the ability to reduce perspiration by as much as 50 percent! So how cool is that during the summer months (?)

:: Always Remember :: 
All things grow stronger with love, so does your immune system.
Time to allow more 'pink' into your life . . .

Enjoy*
