Just when we thought the scorching hot days of summer had already passed, we have a week of all 90+ degree days to look forward to this week! So, to keep cool and refreshed, we thought we would post this great recipe for Moroccan Mint Iced Tea. If you don’t have any fresh mint leaves handy, we grow mint here on our organic farm, Koinonia Farm, and you can purchase our mint and other organic herbs at a Whole Foods, Giant, or Wegmans store nearby. Just look for the Koinonia Farm label!
