Cherry Basil Cold Brew Tea Infusion

This tea infusion is reminiscent of your childhood cherry limeade. While a lot more subtle, the cherries, lime and basil create a refreshing drink that is bound to quench your thirst.

I’ve been making cold brew tea infusions a lot lately, experimenting with different teas, fruits and even veggies. It’s the easiest thing – just let them sit and absorb into a medley of flavors overnight in your fridge.

If you do wish to sweeten this cold brew, or others, I suggest just a splash of agave.
