At this part, we can place pieces of various fresh fruits that we already have in our fridge, such as strawberries, cherries, apricots, pomegranate seeds, and for the most daring... a piece of chopped ginger, to get that spark in the taste! - While the aromatic mixture is hot, if we want our decoction to acquire a sweet note, add sugar or honey. Finally, place it in the refrigerator until it cools down.
Extra tip!
Garnish it with ice and thin slices of lemon or lime and with a few sprigs of mint! Enjoy it with your best buddies! The aromatic, fruity tea will give you bright skin and keep you hydrated.
