A Refreshing Recipe: Iced Rose Green Tea

Yesterday I shared all of the incredible benefits of rose water, as revealed by holistic wellness expert Elissa Goodman. Knowing all the ways the natural ingredient contributes to a healthy system has inspired me to integrate rose into my lifestyle wherever possible. As Elissa suggested, it can be as easy as mixing a bit into hot or cold tea. 

I discovered a recipe that takes a bit more advanced planning, but has a really refreshing result. This simple cold-brewed iced green tea incorporates the detoxifying rose via beautiful dried petals that give it not only a subtle floral taste and aroma, but also make it quite lovely in a glass pitcher. Furthermore, the addition of whole coriander lends a brightness that makes this an ideal beverage for the warm days ahead. Cheers! XXJKE
