Schizandra is a berry native to China, used as an adaptogen, sexual tonic, hepatoprotective and energy booster. One of my favourites for supporting hormone balance and boosting liver health, which go hand in hand. Its also super tasty and tangy when added to a tea blend or to kombucha brew.

 ½ cup dried Schisandra berry
 2 cups water
 200 g (7 ounces) strawberries, stems removed
 3 tbsp honey
 1 cup carbonated water, chilled
