Receta Chamomile Strawberry Orange Cold-Br
Spring is here and summer will be here soon enough, right? It’s time to put those mugs away and bring out tall glasses, tumblers for the beach, and mason jars for super cold and tasty beverages. This doesn’t mean you have to put your tea away though. Try this cold brewed method and toss in some fruit and honey as a natural sweetener and you have a delicious and cheerful drink. I simply can’t be grumpy when I am drinking out of a mason jar, drinking tea, or around this much fruit. It’s impossible. This also holds true for a mug of hot chocolate, but I’m putting that out of my mind for a while.
This is super easy to make you can whip up a large batch for the week or a party or break it down and only make one or two for you. That’s what I do since they are easy to make and I’d rather have the fruit as fresh as possible. Just remember to put some water out and let it get to room temperature before you get ready to actually prepare this. Enjoy!
