Apple & Cranberry Tea
Cranberry tea is rather an unlikely summer flavour that is receiving the love of the people. This berry in all forms has become a popular alternative beverage to consume. Not only is cranberry tea a healthy brew, but can be rejoiced both hot and cold. The tea is infused with a wide variety of antioxidants from the berries and green tea, along with several vitamins and minerals. Plus, when served as an iced tea, it hydrates the body and rejuvenates the mind. Enriched with anthocyanins and flavonols, along with caffeic acid, resveratrol, and numerous tannins, it allows the drinker to absorb the benefits of many active ingredients through just one cup.
