Sun tea
Dr. Keri Marshall gave us an easy super-delicious recipe for Sun Tea:
    – Find a glass jar with a lid (spaghetti sauce jar). 
    – Fill with spring water
    – Throw in some mint leaves (peppermint or spearmint – buy fresh at market if you aren’t growing them)
    – Place lid on top and put in sunny spot outside
    – Over time watch the water change color
    – When a rich color, take it inside and filter out the mint leaves
    – Add honey and lemon juice to taste
    – Serve on ice.  Very refreshing and delicious!
Kids can make this from beginning to end.  If they make enough, they can set up a Sun Tea stand and sell it!

Side health benefits:  great for digestion, antioxidant, anti0microbial making it a breath refresher

Side budget benefit: cheaper than buying the not-as-good-for-you flavored teas in cans and bottles.

Enjoy this summer drink!

…  for the health of your family,
