This is a tea that we would like to drink everyday, especially in the morning.  When you need to wake up a few times during the night, it’s hard to feel right during the day.  However, this wonderful tea helps us to have a clear mind and enjoy the day again!  Along with all its nutrients, it tastes wonderful too!!  We like it sweetened with raw honey, and sometimes blend in some milk to make it smooth.  Usually, we’ll have 1 L or 2 L ready in the fridge, so we can have it any time.  Serve hot or cool.
