Iced Citrus Sparkler with Echinacea and Rosehip
Cold-brewed echinacea, ginger, lemon and rosehip topped with fresh orange juice, lemon, honey and sparkling water: fizzy, citrusy and lightly sweet.
A cold-season blend doesn't have to taste like a sick day. This iced sparkler turns our immunity blend into something genuinely enjoyable: bubbly, citrusy, lightly sweet, and built for warm-weather sipping.
Cold-brewing is essential here. The immunity blend's ginger and echinacea can take on a sharp, medicinal edge when steeped hot, but cold extraction over 8 hours pulls a smoother, sweeter flavor profile that plays nicely with citrus.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice (not from concentrate) is the move—its sweetness rounds out the rosehip's tartness and the lemon's bite. Sparkling water adds the festive fizz that makes you want to drink the whole glass.
Make a pitcher in the morning and pour a glass whenever you want something cold and bright. It works as a quiet daily ritual for warm afternoons—a caffeine-free alternative to soda that tastes of ginger, orange and rosehip.
