A double dose of antioxidants, brewed lavender black tea and pomegranate juice make a powerful pair!

In the hot summer months we tend to forget about drinking tea for optimal health. Tea of all kinds, green, black or white all have extremely high amounts of antioxidants making it one of my favorite superfoods… superdrink I guess I should say! Tea contains polyphenols, which is an antioxidant that protects our cells from damage and stress. While green tea contains more polyphenols than black tea, regular consumption of black tea may lower risk of heart disease and diabetes.
