Organic Rooibos Sun Tea
Use 4-6 teabags to 2-quarts of water in a lidded glass container. Place container in the sun for 3-5 hours. I chose rooibos because it is naturally sweet and you won't need to add any sugar or honey. Rooibos is also wonderful because of its high antioxidant properties. Steeping the tea this way will also bring out the subtle nutty flavor.
Ham and Avocado Sandwich

Choose any bread of your choice (in this case, we used ficelle loaves).

Spread avocado on bread and layer with ham.
