Nothing like jumpstarting your metabolism with a little Lemon, Ginger and Cayenne as we mosey into Spring. This delicious mocktail is a play on the Lemon Cayenne Master Cleanse. Flush out all the stagnation from winter and start fresh. This lovely mocktail has The Herb Shoppe's Signature Bitters to help jump-start and nourish your digestion.
You first want to infuse honey with the Ginger and Cayenne. This will stay fresh and delicious for a long time. Make sure you strain all the Ginger out of the honey while the honey is still hot! Check out my blog and video on making herbal infused honeys for a step by step.
This mocktail is delicious warm like a Hot Toddy, or chilled over ice. Enjoy it all year long!
Here’s what you will need to make this mocktail:
- 7 oz. Lemonade or fresh squeezed lemons (try Meyer lemons for a little extra flavor)
- 1-2 Tablespoons of chopped, fresh Ginger
- Pinch of powdered Cayenne
- 16 ounces of local honey
- THS Signature Bitters
- Optional: Ginger Beer/Zevia Ginger Beer
