Summer in the East Bay calls for hydration that actually tastes good. Iced herbal teas are caffeine-free, colorful, and endlessly customizable.
Try this simple trio:
-
Hibiscus Flowers: Bright red color, tangy flavor.
-
Lemon Verbena: Citrus lightness that refreshes instantly.
-
Peppermint Leaf: Natural cooling effect.
Steep two tablespoons of herbs in hot water for ten minutes, then strain and chill overnight. Serve over ice with a slice of orange.
Loose herbs from Lhasa Karnak retain more oils than tea-bag dust, so the flavor blooms even when cold.
