All summer long I had been making iced herbal tea by the glassful. Almost every day.
Then I decided I needed to make a whole pitcher’s worth. I’ve been sitting on this for some time now and it’s time to share it. It doesn’t need to be summer to enjoy a cold beverage!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know I like precision. Exact quantities in recipes make for excellent results.
Same goes for this drink. Precise recipe = refreshing drink.
Don’t freak out about the apple cider vinegar. It just adds a little “punch” or “pizazz” or it might be described as a little tangy. It just gives the drink the little kick it needs.
But better than refreshing, this is naturally flavored, sugar free, and dye free; making it perfect for everyone, especially children. They will not know it’s not Kool-Aid, if you don’t tell them!
