Elixirs are a fun AND medicinal way to add some health into your home. During the holiday season, we all go a bit overboard with drinking. It can feel like a relief when there is are more options, when it comes ti beverages . It also gives you bonus points for creativity, because let’s face it, there are usually only three options for drinks at a gathering- water, soda, or alcohol.
Here is a recipe for a yummy and delicious mocktail that will give you glowing skin and a strong immune system during the winter season. Adding herbal tinctures to your mocktails, like ginseng, can make the mood and vibes high at a party. It can add energy and take stress away from all who partake!
With New Years a few days a way, I wanted to incorporate pomegranate into a delicious drink. Why pomegranate? It’s an old superstition in my family, that on New Years Eve, one should eat the seeds of a pomegranate. Seeds usually represent abundance and fertility. & the more seeds scattered the luckier the year! So drink up! And…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
