The Silver Cup of Cooling
High Sun Solstice - NoonWhen the vessel blazes with the fire of midsummer, the spirits of garden mint and sun-ripened lemon offer a gentle counterpoise. Peppermint, a cool and wiry herb, draws heat from the core and tempers the choleric humors, while lemon's sharp acidity refreshes the palate and quickens the digestion. A touch of wild honey binds these virtues into a soothing infusion that restores equanimity to body and spirit.
