File this one under: Other things to do with fresh fruit

This is a super simple idea that makes a truly wonderful hot day treat. I also love to put them in water bottle to take to work with me.

All you need to do is clean and wash your fresh herbs and the fresh fruit add them to an ice cube tray and fill with water. Carefully put in freezer and like magic, you have infused flavored iced cubes.

Some of my favorite combinations:
Raspberry and Mint
Strawberry and Basil
Blueberry and Mint
Strawberry and Grapefruit

Dried Fruit into Tea: It's Like Magic!

I grow a lot of fruit and flowers. I love my roses and lavender but I love mixing all of them into tea even more!

A great way to preserve nature's bounty of fruit and flowers is to dry them and mix them with your favorite blends of tea. I am particularly partial to Strawberry Grapefruit green tea and Lavender Vanilla Earl Grey. I also use some of my herbs from the garden to add a bit more to the flavors like fresh mint or basil. I know the basil sounds weird but basil Strawberry is amazing!

For the first time, I am trying something and setting up a shop on Etsy! This is new to me, so be kind. :)

Brand new Etsy shop for custom, loose leaf tea blends!
