A Healthier Lemonade 🍋

Some of us are lemon people: lemon bars, lemon fettuccine, lemon soap. Lemonade on a summer day is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Riffing off Dollar Days at the local grocery store, when lemons are a dollar on sale, here is a healthier lemonade that’s bright and hydrating.

Ingredients

·    1 cup coconut water

Here’s a good one, https://amzn.to/3V0Kk7N

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1–2 tsp agave or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: mint, thyme, or trace minerals

Adjust to taste.

Coconut Lemon Water High:

  • Coconut water adds natural electrolytes
  • Lemon brings acidity and vitamin C
  • Agave/maple syrup are nutritive sweeteners — simply better sources of sweetener than hard white sugar… These are more complex flavor raves
  • A pinch of salt turns this into a DIY electrolyte drink instead of a $40 online powder

You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar. Summer’s Coming. Time for drinks.  https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ https://amzn.to/4eeRxoQ This post contains affiliate links.

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...
