Herbal Pink Lemonade




Years ago when I was working at Bridgehead in Ottawa, I would make a pot of my favourite herbal infusion and mix it half and half with the lemonade (we juiced all those lemons ourselves back then - I wonder if they still do). If you are one of those people who loved it too, or would just like to try an absolutely delicious and refreshing iced beverage...this one is for you (and especially for LaurieCat).

In a large teapot or jug add:
- 2 teaspoons of hibiscus
- 2 teaspoons of spearmint
- 2 teaspoons of lemongrass

*Fill with boiling water, stir and let sit for about 5 minutes
*Strain the infusion into another jug suitable for the fridge
*Let the infusion cool to room temperature before storing
*When ready to serve, mix half and half with your favourite lemonade and pour over ice
