Last year, strolling through the farmers market at San Francisco’s Ferry Building, we met a farmer who grew fresh sage and turned it into sage tea.

It was splendid, but we lost her card and never ordered any.

Good karma brought a tin of Rishi Tea’s organic Bergamot Sage Tea, a blend of sage, peppermint, bergamot and lemon thyme. It may be even more splendid!

Rishi organic teas are also certified kosher.

While the expert tea blenders at Rishi have worked long and hard to come up with a stellar blend, it’s easy to make your own hot or iced sage tea.

Sage has long been an herbal remedy for sore throat and mild gastrointestinal upset, but we now drink sage tea daily because it’s soooo refreshing.

You can also create a blend by adding basil, lavender, mint, or other sweet herb.

Or, you can make a variation of an Arnold Palmer: half iced tea, half lemonade. See the variation below.

An Arnold Palmer is a cold drink, but there’s no reason why you can’t turn it into a hot one.
