Although today is mid-winter, I have summer time on my mind. I am making up a cup of tea with summer flavors, rose buds, lemon peel,hawthorn berries, and lemon balm. This tea is wonderfully light tasting, a great tonic for the skin, your blood circulation, and support for the liver.

As I sip my warm tea, I will dream of how this tea will taste in a chilled glass, on a hot summer day.
