About Dehydrating
A good way to preserve the abundance of the harvest is to remove the water from fruits, vegetables, and herbs—water that is just as necessary for their growth as it is for their decay. When this water evaporates through drying, the microorganisms that cause spoilage lose their source of sustenance, and the dried produce becomes shelf-stable—albeit with some loss of vitamins, but concentrated into a powerful dose of minerals and dietary fiber. If autumn brings sufficiently warm temperatures, you can dry them outdoors. You can even dry them on a radiator or in the oven, provided it can maintain low temperatures between 35 and 50 °C. The easiest method, however, is to use a food dehydrator.

These are three good reasons to make your own ice cream - apart from the flavour, of course. Basically, a simple ice cream flavour such as vanilla is enough, which you can vary as you wish to make gelato alla nocciola, stracciatella or Malaga ice cream, for example. With this in mind, what are you waiting for?

The classic iced tea is a black tea refined with peach or lemon. In our recipe, we use the organic Berry Pomp fruit tea blend as the base ingredient, which boasts a brilliant array of flavors including hibiscus, rose petals, wild berries, blueberries and cherries. The fruity sweetness is provided by a vinegar-based syrup with the intense aroma of fully ripe raspberries. The Indian tonic water made from hand-picked botanicals gives the iced tea a citrusy, slightly tart note.
