Rhubarb Lime Spring Spritzer
When a neighbor let me pick rhubarb, I found ALittleZaftig's recipe for One-pot Rhubarb Cordial, Sauce, & Compote (http://www.food52.com/recipes/12016_onepot_rhubarb_cordial_sauce_compote). When I finished making it tonight, I really wanted a cool, refreshing drink in my hot kitchen on this early June night.. A little sweet, a little tart, a lovely pale pink -- this is the result, delightful!
ZESTY HALF AND HALF
I love ice tea and drink it all year long. There is always a jar brewing on my countertop; what is called sun tea. A big squeeze of lemon juice or two or three are always added...no sugar. In restaurants I often order that drink named after a famous golfer. I love the combo of ice tea and lemon juice. Sometimes it is called a half and half because that is the ratio of ice tea to lemon and water. My version has a rim of lemon zest to punctuate the flavor of the lemon.
Mock Jaboticaba Pop
This recipe was inspired by a friend of mine that lives in Hawaii. She has a jaboticaba shrub growing on her property. A little while ago she was telling another friend of ours and myself about the fruit on the tree. We asked her to try making a jelly out of it, and then of course send us some. She had never canned anything before and we were sort of far away to be able to help her, so her first attempt ended up being more of a syrup. Her second attempt resulted in a jelly and she sent us jars of each. The syrup is perfect for making soda with. The fruit remimded me of something between a blackberry and a cranberry and so with a little tinkering I came up with my mock jaboticaba syrup.
Summer Seltzer, Winter Wellness
When a friend told me she and her husband were drinking Turmeric-Ginger Tea during cold season, I asked how they made it, and she came with a recipe in hand, without another reminder! I made it and was deeply pleased with it. But now it's summer, the temperature's reading in the 80's, and I wanted something cold when I came in from gardening. So here's the summer version, thirst quenching and energizing. I've left it at the purist stage, but the original directions included sugar and milk, if you prefer.
Apple-Mint-Lime cooler (Lemonade)
A tasty combo of Apple juice, spritzed up with Lemonade and the herbiness of Mint. Garnish this recipe with a mint leaf and a lime wedge. Cheers!
Avocado Sea Salt Shake
This Sea Salt And Avocado shake recipe has the creamiest, dreamiest texture imaginable and the slight hints of salt and coconut really put it over the top.
Frothy Sweet Almond Drink (Shrab al Loz)
This delicious Syrian almond drink is served at parties and happy occasions. You may not want to wait for a celebration to make this shrab al loz recipe though!
Banana-date shake
This shake is a meal on the go, IMO. It's light enough so that it doesn't way you down , gives you lots of energy, and cools you down, as well.
Orange Freeze Float
On particularly hot days, my mother would break out the blender and make this frosty recipe for orange freeze floats. This is the perfect sherbert treat!
Lime Mint Spritz
Moving to the desert has given me a new obsession with cold drinks- you can only convince yourself to chug so much water! This recipe sprung from a local deli's lime spritzer offering that I craved every day last summer and the fact that I just can't tame my mint! So what if I accidentally re-invented a mojito? I certainly won't judge if you a splash of rum (preferably white).
Vanilla Egg Cream
For this vanilla egg cream recipe, stir the vanilla bean and seeds into the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
Violet Lassi
This recipe was created because we were at the wonderful Radiance Dairy in Fairfield, Iowa and wanted to try their yogurt -- also their fields were full of violets. These mystical flowers have many health benefits including bountiful Vitamin C and anti-oxidants. The blueberries are included because the violet color didn't come through when I first made it on the road -- they should make it seem a little more like a violet drink. Alternatively, you can take out the honey and blueberries and use this as a sauce for a light fish, or serve it with dandelion fritters (recipe also on food52).
Iced Coffee
Every year, usually around this time, I feel the strong urge to make the shift from hot coffee to iced -- and once I switch, I usually stick with it until fall rolls around. It's a bit of a coffee conviction. And I happen to be more particular about my iced coffee than my lattés and drips. To me, it's important that the coffee be strong enough to stand up to a generous ration of milk, but there should be enough ice to ensure that the coffee stays cold, and the sides of the cup dewy. The solution to what seems like an insurmountable challenge? Espresso ice cubes, of course! With just an ice cube tray and a little planning, you too can soon be sipping a frigid, rich iced coffee in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Iced and Spiced
Is there nothing new under the sun? I wish I knew where this originally came from. I know that a google search tells me that it's not all that original, but since I found a version of it in my trusty box of recipes from my Grandmother, I've updated it to my own coffee preferences and my Bialetti. Mine is a nine cup. - TiggyBee
Decoction Coffee
This recipe's frothy decoction coffee is served in south India in stainless steel glasses. It is customary to offer at least a glass of coffee to all visitors.
Banoffee Shake
I love the mix of sweet banana and the sharpness of coffee. I'd be inclined to try this with coconut and add some rum. This banoffee shake recipe is delicious!
Carrot Apple Ginger Juice with Meyer Lemon
I've been enjoying variations of this Carrot Apple Ginger Lemon Juice recipe for years and it's one of my favorite ways to use fresh carrots. Cheers!
Perfect Hot Chocolate
Whole milk, unsweetened cocoa powder and luscious dark chocolate liquefy together to become what is undoubtedly the Perfect Hot Chocolate recipe.
Te Helado
For this te helado recipe, you'll make refreshing ice tea with one cup of lemon. Serve in a glass with ice or chilled and sweetened with sugar of choice.
Mango Lassi (with Cardamom)
A mango lassi (blended mango nectar with plain yogurt and cardamom) will do well to cool and focus the mind.
Cardamom Chai Tea
I am a tea lover, and I met a co-worker from Pakistan, who used Cardamom as a spice. He gave me some, and I put it in my tea, added milk, and honey, and felt the calming effect on my mind. This drink became my energizer in the morning, when I wanted to get through the day calmly, and it smells sweet. I later tried store brought Chai tea, but this is a more authentic, and exotic version of Chai. You could take this recipe anywhere, which makes it especially good for a fast pace lifestyle. Enjoy!

Star Anise Syrup
I broke up with a fellow after stocking his kitchen with ingredients. He asked what he'd do with a cupboard full of spices - this was my suggestion.
Cashew Milk
Cashew milk is my new favorite. I use it in smoothies and tea or splashed over a bowl full of granola. http://www.elanaspantry.com/cashew-milk/
