“I remember the first time I heard about sun tea, I was a little girl,” says Gucci, whose earliest memories of the classic summertime brew go back to the childhood years her family spent living on an Ashram in California. But there’s more than nostalgia to this easy iced tea recipe, which distills the health benefits of fresh herbs into a refreshing treat. Today’s blend is infused with anti-inflammatory ginger, lemongrass, and turmeric, and finished with a dash of calming and digestion-boosting lemon balm. Steeped outdoors in the heat of the sun, rather than in boiled water, then poured over ice, “it’s nice knowing that it’s powered by the universe." How’s that for the perfect way to recharge this Labor Day weekend?
