Warmer weather brings patio season, backyard BBQ’s, and a desire to find a refreshing ice cold beverage to cool us down on hot days. One of my favorite drinks to make in the summer is a naturally sweetened Hibiscus Ice Tea. I make a big jug on the weekend so I have it in the fridge for the week.

I love turning to foods that can nourish our beauty from the inside-out.
