Ingredients //

  • 1 bunch Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 handful Fresh Lemon Balm Leaves
  • several Fresh Thyme Sprigs
  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • Water
  • Ice

Instructions //

  • In a half-gallon size mason jar, place the mint, lemon balm, and thyme.
  • Dilute the honey in a little warm water, and pour over the herbs.
  • Fill the jar with water, cover tightly, and give it a shake.
  • Set in the sun for 8 hours, strain, and chill!

Notes

  • This recipe is rather like cold brew coffee - instead of heating the water, you simply give it time to steep. This method gives the drink a more delicate flavor, which I believe is delicious.
