@Collette Check with your local store to be certain of what’s in stock, but I have a 100% Tart Cherry Juice in our 365 Organic Everyday Value line in my pantry so you should be able to find what you need.

The tips and tricks are always useful….although given my sugar-free status I’m always partial to mixing and matching what I have for tea bags in my pantry!

My latest batch: 2 tea bags golden green tea and one tea bag Raspberry Ginger. Once cool, add the juice of one lemon and ENJOY! A little zesty from the ginger, its refreshing and energizing ;0

You failed to mention the importance of Magnesium.
“Smart Water” has Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium.
This would be a better base to which you can add your recommanded ingriedients.
I play Table Tennis daily and Smart Water addressed my leg
and arm muscle rigidity and returned them to normal.
I drink just one quart of it daily. If I miss it one day,
I wake up stiff again.
The doctors did not know why my muscles were stiff.

For a gallon of tea, you can even reduce about 2 cups of 100% apple juice with some agave nectar to create an excellent sweetener. Try steeping the tea with a spring of rosemary.

In Nashville, “fruit tea” is a staple menu item in small cafes. For the most part, the tradition is a can of concentrated lemon juice, a can of concentrated orange juice, 8 cups of boiling water, a “family-size” tea bag and fresh mint. It usually includes a 3/4 cup of sugar, but can be sweetened with many low-glycemic options.

And a great way to brew your tea is to set it in the sun in a glass jar with the teabags and water! It takes care of itself while you do other things.

The receipie you offer is great. I usually prefer an excellent, natural, soluable water. The most natural and clean tasteing water is from off the coast of the big island of Hawaii in Kona. The brand is not out there yet, but it will be when people catch on.

my favorite is coconut water! not cocnut but water, its the liquid from the green cocnut before it is turn to milk , it is amazing and very hydrating. tons of calcium, magnesium, and electrolytes. slighty sweet too…I also use it as a “pedialyte” when my kids are sick too, it ia all natural the way it is supposed to be! look at it the next time you go to the store!
