Sundries

Sundried Tomatoes in herbs and oil - tomatoes, rosemary, tarragon, garlic, salt, olive oil and dash of balsamic vinegar.  Use the tomatoes as you like, discard long stems of herbs or use in stews or soups.  Use the herb infused oil/vinegar mixture as dipping oil for bread, toss pasta in it or use as green salad dressing.

Lemon-Cucumber Spa Hydrator Tonic - lemon, cucumber, agave nectar, kosher salt.  Lemon and cucumber blend into pure hydration.  Lemon is juicy with electrolytes - especially good for after a workout.  The salt lifts the flavor and allows your cells to drink in the goodness.

Flu Buster Tonic - apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, wasabi powder, cayenne and honey.  This tincture stimulates circulation and really stands up to an assault on the immune system.  Take 2 TBS at a time with warm/hot water

Green Ginger Beauty Tonic - romaine lettuce (!), cucumber, apples, celery, parsley, lemon, ginger.  Sounds weird & is VERY green, but has a very mild taste.  Is Cleansing and fortifying.....flushes & hydrates for great hair and skin.
