I personally consider any herbal punch your mixing together in a pot to undoubtedly be a potion!

You can’t go wrong with yummy iced herbal brews mixed with homemade simple syrup! These iced punch creations are not only delicious, but they’re also so beautiful when garnished with herbs, fruit, and edible flowers!
