Strawberry Basil Infusion: A Last Taste of Summer
Who says tea always needs to be sipped hot?
Infusions, like the one below, are a great way to rejuvenate your body after a hot day in the sun while also imparting the flavors and benefits of these hydrating summer edibles!
August is a busy time of the year! Harvests are gathered and prepared for the upcoming cool days, and students get ready to head back to school. Here at the Herbal Academy, we are preparing for back to school season, too — welcoming new students throughout the next month! It is a time to return to our education — even as adults! While the August days continue to be hot and humid, the colors of summer are just starting to fade into deep browns, oranges, and golds.
Now is the time to soak in these last days of summer with a tasty, refreshing drink. Herbs help us celebrate and bring their colors, flavors, and health benefits along with them. Cheers to the final days of summer, the last grill outs, and family vacations!
As summer fades into fall, we are celebrating with a delightfully refreshing Strawberry Basil Infusion. This recipe can be found in our free Herbal Tea Throughout the Seasons Ebook.
