Honey Fruit Tea Recipe
Here's a great Summer spritzer. You can use your favorite tea in this. I like to use green tea with lemongrass, along with substituting lemon-lime soda for the carbonated water.
If your allergy prone, I suggest using local honey. One of the many benefits honey provides is boosting your allergy resistance. Local is best because pollen counts vary by region and store bought is from a farm that may/may not be from your area.
