It’s been SCORCHING hot in Texas so far this summer, so I really felt the need to come up with a concoction in hopes of bearing the heat. The result was this super refreshing (and equally hydrating) “Coconut & Mint Limeade”–hope you like it!
Ingredients:
•1 16 oz. bottle of coconut water, I used Harmless Harvest’s Raw Coconut Water
•3-4 fresh limes
•2-3 fresh lemons
•Sweetener of choice (to taste, since everyone’s pitcher/taste preference will be a different size). I used about 2 Tbsp. of powdered stevia leaf–just avoid artificial sweeteners!
•Fresh mint leaves
•Ice, ice baby.
•Pure filtered water, or sparkling mineral water for a fizzy drink
Directions:
•Slice and juice your lemons and limes into a large pitcher (watch out for the seeds)
•Add your sweetener, then stir to combine (add some water if needed)
•Pour the coconut water in
•Fill the rest of the pitcher with regular or sparkling water
•Add ice
•Garnish with fresh mint leaves
Enjoy!
Mmm! Love this refreshing drink! I’m trying it next with some bubbly water. 🙂
I’m so glad you liked it! Definitely one of my all-time favorites!
I just shared your drink on uberdish’s FB page so that others may enjoy! It’s hot here (although probably not as hot as it is in Texas) – this drink is such a healthy alternative to so many drinks that are marketed to us on these summer days. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re so sweet! Thanks a ton–your blog looks amazing!! Love everything I’ve seen so far!
Now that makes me very happy! 🙂
