Having already been put off six weeks for the refrigerator we ordered to arrive, I’m not holding out much hope that the next available delivery date is accurate, but we are in fridge cleaning mode just in case—big old side-by side that came with the house; we’re estimating it’s a 40-year-old bruiser, so there’s plenty of room for all the stuff that gets crammed in the door or in the back and you forget about.

So while I had the bottle in my hand, I combined a couple tablespoons with a mason jar of apple mint-infused cold water, and I think I have a new favorite summer cold drink! (I think there were a few tulsi leaves tossed in there, too—our container garden is thriving.)

At any rate, the sweetness of the sassafras balances really nicely with mild mint and it just felt good going down.

Carbonation would be a nice touch!

Mastress Alita: I thought only plain water could be used with things like Soda Stream. Are you abke to do tea because there is no sugar in it?

Mastress Alita

I don’t have a Soda Stream, I have a DrinkMate and it can carbonate anything except juices that contain pulp. No problem with well-strained tea, and I’ve been drinking lots of coldbrews with an infusion of carbonation during the unending hot weather.

Mastress Alita: I have never heard of that one! I will look it up! I have just been making syrups and adding them to cold Perrier.
