Print Recipe
summer punch herbal

Equipment

  • Pot

Ingredients

  • One quart water
  • 1 tbsp dried eleuthero root
  • 1 tbsp green tea
  • 1 tbsp dried pomegranate flower
  • 2 tsp fresh or dried ginger slices
  • 2 tsp fresh or dried lemon balm
  • 1 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers
  • 1 fresh lemon slice per glass

Instructions

  • Place water in a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Add eleuthero root to the boiling water and cover. Reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add green tea, pomegranate, ginger, lemon balm, hibiscus, and lemon.
  • Let steep, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Strain into a pitcher or glasses with ice. Add a slice of lemon to each glass.
  • Optional add honey to taste – but do it before you pour over ice so the honey dissolves. If you prefer, you can add a drop of stevia to each glass (I don't love the taste of stevia and prefer it with honey or unsweetened).

Notes

You can store any extra tea in a glass jar in the fridge, where it will keep well for two days.
