- Pour the final mixture into your storage container and put it in the fridge. That's it!
- This mixture is possibly 2-3 times as strong as you will want to drink it. Dilute with an equal amount of water to start. Serve over ice. If the mixture is too strong, add water to dilute. Add cream and sugar at the time of serving.

I love to cook and discover new recipes. I really like to find healthy meals that are easy to prepare. Asian, Indian and Spanish foods are some of my favorites. Spices are good.
I have a background in restaurants but now I am a nurse. I mostly cook for just the two of us but we love leftovers and both take them for lunches at work.
