Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

We usually associate the idea of sipping a good herbal tea with a hot drink that accompanies us on winter evenings. In reality, many herbal teas lend themselves to being refreshing and purifying even in summer. So let's find out what the detox infusion perfect to drink even cold.

With hot summer days we tend to lose a lot of liquids, one way to increase our income can be, for example, to prepare fruit-flavored waters but if we prefer more intense taste than herbal or spice based teas nothing prevents us from consuming them in the cold variant or rather at room temperature.

Potentially, herbal teas can also be drunk cold from the refrigerator, but we do not recommend this option because the purifying effect is greater with hot drinks or at room temperature (especially in summer). If you really can't resist, at least choose to drink them only slightly cool and don't freeze.

The herbal teas that we present can be prepared in advance, keep in the fridge and take out when needed to take them with you to the office, to the beach or wherever you prefer in thermos and water bottles.
