Step 1: Slice The Limes
Slice the limes into halves. You can also use lemons or use both.

Step 3: Bruising The Herbs
One by one, bruise or twist the rosemary, mint, and tarragon to release its natural oils and flavor. Add it to the jar with your lime juice.
Step 4: Add The Rest Of The Ingredients
Add the rest of the ingredients, 1 dropper full echinacea extract, 1 dropper full American ginseng extract, 1 dropper full digestive bitters, a splash of elderberry extract, a splash of cranberry juice and give it a good mix.
