We have a lot of outdoor projects going on at our house. Jason has been going non-stop on rebuilding our deck, and I am in the middle of relocating some of our perennials, chopping down dying bushes, and getting a space ready for my summer tomatoes. As happy as I am about the weather finally heating up, when you are doing back-breaking work in the heat, it's so important to stay hydrated! Water is the best thirst quencher, but sometimes you want a little flavor to sip on. That's why I think this Strawberry Cooler recipe from Golden Blossom Honey is the perfect summertime refresher!
A lot of flavored drinks are loaded with sugar, which makes me much more thirsty when doing outdoor work. I love that this recipe is sweetened with natural foods, like honey, strawberries and ginger root, so I get a sweet beverage that keeps me cool, refreshed and hydrated without the added junk.
Ingredients
1/2 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
2 quarts of water
16 ounce package fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced

ReplyDeleteLooks lovely and the straws are uber cute :) I'd ad lemon in it too, though and mash the strawberries.
ReplyDeleteHooray for the summer tomatoes and for Jason being the deckmaster!
I did mash up my berries after I took the photos so I could get more strawberry flavor with each sip. I didn't think of adding lemon, but love the idea! Will definitely try it with my next batch!
