Tips & Warnings

• Add an herbal tea bag, like currant or berry zinger to the tea for a slightly different flavor
• Once tea is brewed add juice concentrate like cranberry or peach for a slightly sweet and fruity beverage.
• Use the tea within a few days (I do not use it past two days)
• If you use a pitcher/container with a spout, make sure you clean it with hot soapy water completely before you make a new batch
