Small batch VEGAN Whipped Cream!
So easy and delicious! Make it and put it on everything in sight! Great for cakes, cookies, drinks, fruit, cereal, brunch, desserts of all kinds...
Rhubarb Lemonade
I made this lemonade after wanting a simple way to taste fresh rhubarb without cooking/baking/mixing it with much of anything at all. I choose dark stalks for dramatic color.
Watermelon Granita with Blueberries
Nothing says summer like watermelon, and this frozen version is surprisingly simple to make. It is a delightful finish to any meal.
Louisa Shafia's Watermelon, Mint & Cider Vinegar Tonic
Even if drinking vinegar sounds like a dare—and maybe that's why you ordered it—it's anything but. It's sweet and sour and icy-cold. It vibrates and clangs with fruit and vinegar, and soothes with sweetness and mint. It is the most refreshing drink you will have this summer. And because it's a grown-up drink without alcohol, you can take it on a picnic, at any park, without having to look side-eyed at cops that might pass by. From The New Persian Kitchen (Ten Speed Press, 2013).
Lavender Lemonade
The sweet and tart summertime favorite, infused with the rich floral note of lavender.
Homemade Lemonade with Mint
The perfect quencher on a hot day. Nothing beats a zesty drink to cool and refresh when the sun is shimmering outside. Anything lemon based is ideal and here you have the option to add ginger or mint to make this even more fragrant and summery.
Apricot-Rose Mintshake
Mint- the cavalier.
Homemade Gingerale
My number 2 college son started making his own ginger ale syrup years ago. It's fabulous and so refreshing during the summer months. It's easy to make. I think you'll love it. You will need a boat load of fresh ginger, sugar, water, limes and a bit of mint which is optional, but you really shouldn't omit it.
Tummy Soothing Smoothie
Tummy Soothing Smoothie recipe made with ginger & mint disguised in an attractive fruit smoothie. Because I failed at getting my children to take pepto bismol.
Orange Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
It gets so hot in Dallas and I crave something cold and creamy, but I'm not supposed to eat dairy or sugar so I came up with this for a treat. It tastes like a Creamsicle and could be frozen in a mold if you would like. I know it's not technically ice cream and gets a little icy, but it can't be beat it for fast, tasty, and unlimited flavor variation potential.
Refreshing Coconut Water and Watermelon Sparkling Non-Alcoholic Spritzer
A refreshing and light summer drink loosely inspired by How Sweet It Is: this non-alcoholic seltzer recipe makes a delicious sparkling drink to enjoy any time.
Berry, Lime & Coconut Shake
These shakes are a great way to use up leftover coconut milk, though I'm so hooked that I'll buy coconut milk just to make them. They're also a great way to enjoy the ripe, juicy berries that are in the market right now; in the off season, frozen berries can be substituted. Be sure to take the extra step of adding lime zest -- it makes the shakes extra delicious.
Iced Cocolatte
A refreshing way to get your caffeine fix this summer with this coconut latte. By paring cold brew coffee with coconut water, this latte is light and smooth with deep flavors. Add a raw sugar syrup to make it a truly decadent treat.
Saffron & Cardamom Lemonade Concentrate
A traditional summer cooler from India—a lemonade infused with green cardamom and saffron, served cold with fresh mint.
Strawberry Balsamic Shrub Syrup
A few years ago, I went to my first San Francisco Street Food Festival and had a refreshingly different mocktail called a shrub. The strawberry basil shrub was one of the highlights among hundreds of street food vendors. So I researched the drink and discovered how simple it was to make. You can use just about any fruit and any vinegar, muddle in flavorings like sweet basil or thyme. The tart hit from the vinegar really makes the fruit flavor shine while adding a complexity that plays so well with the sweetness.
Sweet & Spicy Fennel Juice
The fresh fennel flavor of this juice recipe mixes perfectly with the sweet pear and spicy ginger. This drink is refreshing, healthy, and delicious!

Lady Fenton's Iced Rooibos Tea
This was inspired by a lovely warm Summer's day in London, everyone was drinking Pimm's so I decided to create something for of my friends who don't drink. The measurements I give are for a single drink, so just multiply the ingredients by however many guests you have. Easy, enjoy!
Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk
Here’s a recipe for a deeply-flavored vanilla almond milk. The flavors of the almond and vanilla work so beautifully together. This recipe is delicious!
Homemade Almond Milk Ideas
Like anything else you make at home, Almond Milk from scratch tastes infinitely better than what you can buy in a box from a store. Use this recipe for Ideas.
Banana Chai Ginger Smoothie
This smoothie can be tweaked to your liking as you go along. It's refreshing, creamy, and packs a ginger-y punch! Simple but surprising with the addition of chai and using homemade almond milk would also be delicious.
Hachiya Persimmon Lassi
Sometimes things that you hate have a funny way of growing on you in an addictive manner. Once I got over my unfortunate introduction to Hachiya persimmons (The first time I tasted it, bit into a bright colored but inedibly tannic fruit that put me off it for a long time), My first instinct was to incorporate it into a lassi since to me the flavor & texture was reminiscent of the ugly brown Sapota fruit (that we called 'Chikoo' in hindi) My mother would blend the odd overripe chickoo with fresh yogurt & lots of ice and serve it up as the perfect drink for a hot Mumbai Summer afternoon. I like to blend the pulp with yogurt and a touch of chai spice.
Root Beer
On my quest for new drink recipes, I came across "Root," the spirit responsible for Root Beer. It packs a big punch and smells like that oh so sugary drink.
POMEGRANATE KOMBUCHA
I fell in love with this fermented, tangy, fizzy kombucha recipe that uses sweet tea as its base and decided that pomegranate would be a perfect fruit juice.
