Tea for summer

The fun fact about this tea is that even though it’s iced, it has a warming element too. That’s because it’s ginger, and ginger is always warming to the body. The body loves warmth - hence it’s natural temperature at 98° (give or take).

Recipe, below!

Ingredients for a 64 pitcher of tea (give or take)

• 4 inch piece of ginger root
