There’s nothing quite like the refreshing, and nostalgic feeling of drinking a cold lemonade on a hot summer’s day!
As herbalists, we are always thinking of creative ways to get herbs into our everyday life. A classic lemonade recipe is a perfect thing to boost with the power of plants. Not only are we drinking something we enjoy, but something that’s also supporting our health.*
Green Tea Lemongrass: Bright and mildly stimulating, with a low caffeine content, we love green tea as an afternoon pick-me-up, as well as for itsbeneficial properties as a healthy beverage.* Its traditional tannic flavor with hints of lemony notes pairs perfectly with a cold lemonade!
Red Clover: A nourishing and supporting herb, red clover has traditional use as an alterative in supporting skin health – helping you glow from the inside out.* It’s perfect for summertime, and a great one for an iced beverage if you prefer fruity and floral notes. Fresh fruit like watermelon and raspberries pair lovely with this herbal lemonade.
Rose Hips with Hibiscus: This tea makes the perfect summer cooler with its fruity, tart and tangy berry flavor, and rose hips make the ideal tea for everyday wellness.* Long enjoyed throughout history, rose hips have rightly earned a reputation for supporting good health. It pairs deliciously with lemonade and makes for a bright summery pink lemonade that’s beautiful for any occasion. Consider brightening it up with a squeeze of lime and some edible flowers.
