Goji Berry Tea


One of my favorite summer treats is cool tea! I love spearmint most of all (super cooling) but when I'm in the mood for a sweet treat, goji is the way to go! Simply steeping dried goji berries in boiling water and let cool gives you a naturally sweetened cooled drink that gives you energy (from nutrients, not stimulants) and revs you up. 

Goji berries are amazing, through and through. They offer a huge dose of vitamin C, are anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, are a great source of iron and a true powerhouse of antioxidants. They also have more carotenoids than any other food! For more info, please visit this site HERE

Handful Goji berries
5 or 6 cups boiling water

Boil the water in a pot and add in the goji berries.  For some added "umph", throw in a few slices of lemon. Turn the heat off, cover, and let steep overnight.  Drink throughout the day as a cooling beverage and enjoy - you don't need to strain it!
