While lemonade is ideal for summer, we feel
that you can enjoy this one all year round. It provides the obvious
vitamin C benefit of the citrus but with a slightly less tangy flavor
thanks to the carrot. You can also swap the sugar for maple syrup or
honey for a better nutritional profile.
Ingredients for drink:
Carrots - 2 medium (grated)
Lemon - 5 (juiced)
Orange - 1 (juiced)
Brown sugar - 1/2 cup
Sparkling water - as needed
Method of preparing the drink:
Stir together all ingredients apart from the sparkling water.
Let
sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Strain through a sieve, pour halfway into glasses, top with
sparkling water and add some ice if you'd like.
Chef's Tip:
Pour this into popsicle molds for a frozen treat- you can also skip the
straining to enjoy the pulp!
