4 Ways to Make Fruit Infused TeaHerbal Tea Herbal tea also tastes great when infused with fruit! To make, add three herbal tea bags and ½ cup of fresh fruit to a one-quart Mason jar. Fill to the top with boiling water, cover, and let steep for ten minutes. Strain and serve either hot or over ice. Here are some delicious herbal tea and fruit combinations you can try:

• Chamomile tea blends well with apples, raspberries, mangoes, and oranges.
• Peppermint tastes great with fruit such as pineapples, oranges, and mangoes.
• Spearmint infuses well with lemons, limes, and grapefruit.
• Rosehip herbal tea blends well with strawberries, oranges, and apples.

When serving any of these fruit infused herbal teas hot, try adding a cinnamon stick to the Mason jar to give the flavors an extra kick!
