Go to your local dry goods vendor (usually tucked in the corner of your farmer's market), and get tons of teas by the bulk. Grab a scoop or two of dried rose buds and dried mint. Take a teaspoonful of each, brew in a mug with boiling water and enjoy after a few minutes. Despite it being summertime and it seeming crazy to enjoy a hot drink to cool off, trust - this is super refreshing and really does the job.:)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! |
