Here is another recipe I've been waiting to share with you.
I started making this healing drink after I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, and it has become a favorite drink of mine. It was super HOT a couple months ago and it really hit the spot after some serious bike riding. My kids love it too - just the right balance of sweet and tart. And here's a nice way to use up my lemon juice. I hope your family enjoys this great summer recipe. I'm such a sucker for ginger and just love how all these flavors work together.

ReplyDeleteI love your serving set too ;) xoxo
Thanks for sharing it at the Potluck last week - I've had my eyes on it since ;) xoxo
Love the combo of lemon and lime, and also the fact that you didn't overload it with sweetener. Wondering how the recipe looks different when you use stevia?
ReplyDeleteI'd like a nice tall glass of that right now!
