Try a refreshing beverage instead!

Summer getting to you yet?

Normally during hot days I will turn to fresh coconut water, or drink 60 oz of water a day;since my reusable water bottle and I are inseparable.

Many people today turn to ice cold water to “ cool” their bodies down, when in reality the cold water is doing more harm than actually cooling the body.

Some cons from drinking cold water include the following: Restricts Digestion, constipation, may cause headaches, shock to the body, and cause sore throat.

I created this drink after learning about “Khus” Vetiver root during the Ayurvedic program. I had worked with vetiver before but as an essential oil. I was blown away by all the benefits that vetiver root contains, therefore was inspired to make a drink to stay cool,& hydrated all day. I always have so much fun creating new fun recipes at home.

This drink can be enjoyed year long due to its powerhouse of antioxidant, vitamin dense, and hydrating benefits.

Vetiver root may benefits the following, fights acne, diminishes scars, provides intense nourishment, reduces inflammation, boosts hair health, improves mood, anti-aging benefits, deep cleanses, may relieve anxiety and supports immunity and digestion.

This cooling tea doesn’t stop there, it includes blue butterfly pea,rose petals, peppermint,hibiscus, & vetiver root.

For this recipe you will need one tea bag of the Summer Cooling Tea

Makes 2 cups

Bring 16 oz of filtered water to a boil

boil the water, turn off heat, then serve the water.

you may sweetened with jaggery, agave,brown sugar, or stir in honey once the tea has cooled down.

Cut a lemon in half, and slice into thin slices to add inside the tea, then with the other half of lemon squeeze the juice into the mixture, stir and serve.

Enjoy!
