Scale
Main Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pure honey
- ¼ cup warm water
- 3-4 cups ice cubes
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) light coconut milk, well chilled
- ⅓ cup lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Dissolve Honey: Stir the pure honey into warm water (kept under 110 degrees Fahrenheit) until fully dissolved to preserve the honey’s health benefits, then pour this mixture into a blender.
- Add Ingredients: Add ice cubes, chilled coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to the blender.
- Blend: Blend everything until frothy and semi-slushy. If your blender struggles with the ice, add it gradually in batches.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour into glasses and garnish optionally with fresh lemon slices, mint leaves, or maraschino cherries before serving.
Notes
- Keep the honey and water temperature under 110 degrees to maintain honey’s nutritional benefits.
- Adjust the amount of ice cubes to achieve your preferred frozen consistency.
- For a sweeter drink, add a little more honey or lemon juice to taste.
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor and aromatic zest.
- Light coconut milk keeps the drink creamy but not heavy.
