Iced Coconut Limeade
Modeled after Brazilian lemonade, this drink is sure to cool you off on the hottest days with an almost mouth-puckering bite. It may at first taste remind you most of tonic water, but it goes further in its blend of bitter, sharp and sweet. Unsweetened coconut milk or cream is used here, along with sugar, fresh herbs and lots of ice. A quick whiz in a blender and a strain through a fine mesh sieve will produce a frothy base that can last in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To serve, fill a glass with ice, pour in the drink and serve immediately with fresh basil, mint leaves and a crack of black pepper for garnish.
