According to Ecclesiastes, there is a season for everything under heaven; a time to keep, and a time to throw away. I am NOT throwing away my last hoarded half-box of these beloved strawberry tea bags, but I have decided that it is high time that I used them.

Especially since it is blinkin’ hot! From the coolest spring in several decades, BAM! we switched immediately to mid-90’s rainforest weather this week.

So I have kept a mason jar of this faithful, can’t-fail strawberry black tea in the fridge for several days now for cool-down purposes. But here’s the twist: thanks to some chit-chat here on Steepster about herb-laced water, and not having enough tea to fill my tumbler, I finished off the top half with some rosemary water. Fruity, brisk, a little piney…I think I am going to do this on purpose again!

Nice! I adore rosemary water!

Yay for herb water! :D I think I will put some in my next cold brew.

Today’s experiment, currently on “chill” in the fridge—basil and apple mint (our basil is going crazy).

I’ve really been missing purple basil lately…

gmathis

I have a pot of that starting to burst out pretty nicely, as well! How do you use your purple basil?
