Goji Berry Iced Tea – (or warm tea)
It couldn’t be easier to add some nutrient rich-Goji berries to your day!
You can make this a warm tea as well. Add boiled water and then let it cool naturally to room temperature as the day wears on, or add ice cubes.
Ingredients:
- Water – whatever amount you like
- Goji Berries – About 1 tablespoon per 2 cups of water
- Raw Honey (optional) – to taste
- Squeeze of lemon – (optional)
How to:
- Put Goji Berries in pitcher.
- Pour cold or warm water on Berries.
- Let is steep until the water turns a lovely reddish color and the Goji’s are plump. This will be a shorter amount of time if it’s warm water versus cold water.
- Chill if you like.
You can eat the plump Goji’s when you are finished drinking the water, or throw then into a smoothie. However, I like to use the soaked Goji’s in muffins or cookies for my kids. They go quite nicely in my leftover-oatmeal muffins [just be sure to add a bit more flour in your recipe to counteract the moisture of the plump Goji’s.)
Drink, enjoy and be deeply nourished!
