Detox and Enjoy a Fresh Iced Tea This Summer

My new favorite homemade drinks are herbal iced teas.

Drinking plain water can be boring sometimes, so why not add some freshly infused herbs while you hydrate? Instead of using sweeteners or sugar, just add honey to the tea while it's still warm, before chilling in the fridge.

Today's pick is thyme and mint iced tea.

Choosing fresh organic ingredients is better, but dry leaves will still keep their aromatherapy properties. Beside its fresh olfactive power, mint has many health benefits: it aids digestion, strengthens the immune system, and maintains oral health (that's why most of dental products are mint flavored!).
