Main Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pure honey
- ¼ cup warm water (under 110 degrees)
- 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 Garnish
- Fresh lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Dissolve honey: Stir the pure honey in warm water (keeping the temperature under 110 degrees) until completely dissolved to preserve honey’s health benefits, then pour the mixture into a blender.
- Add ingredients: Add the ice cubes, chilled light coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to the blender.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture is frothy and achieves a semi-slushy consistency. If the blender struggles, add the ice cubes in smaller batches.
- Garnish and serve: Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh lemon slices, mint leaves, or maraschino cherries if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.
