Recipe: Lavender & Holy Basil Infused Lemonade

Ingredients:

6 cups water

2 cups fresh lemon juice (don’t thrown away the lemons peels! Compost them or make citrus infused cleaning vinegar)

3 tbsp dried holy basil

3 tbsp dried lavender

1 cup simple syrup (2 cups water 2 cups sugar- heat water on stove top and dissolve the sugar into it. Store in the fridge and keep on hand for iced teas, cocktails, and lemonade like this! Step it up a level with my Peach Lavender Simple Syrup.)

Heat 2 cups of the water in a small saucepan on medium.

Once the water is heated, add the lavender and holy basil.

Allow the herbs to steep in the water as it cools for 20 minutes.

In a large picture, stir together lemon juice, simple syrup, and the remaining 4 cups of water.

Brooke's Homemade Chocolate Scones

We’re loving these 🍪❤️ grain-free treats from @brookie.mackie **sans refined sugar** so you get all the flavor but without the sugar crash! 😀 👏🏽

. . .

Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Scones ☀️

I call these “cookie scones” because while originally intended as a cookie, they came out with the light, airy crumb of a scone and not as sweet as your usual cookie. With almond flour, eggs, and butter as the main ingredients, these pack a lot of protein and fat for a treat—not just empty carbs. Also, since there’s no refined sugar here, you get to enjoy the flavor and experience of a “sweet”, without the roller coaster effect on your blood sugar. The sweetener here is honey and a scant amount of stevia (very scant as any more can push the flavor into a strange bitter territory). Also, as an option you can add some coarsely chopped dried fruit; I used dried apricots.

🌱Opt for grass-fed butter if possible. Eaten in moderation, a dessert like this that’s high in healthy fats and with a touch of sweetness can nourish the yin of the body—the part that keeps us feeling juicy, grounded, and calm. 💗

Makes approximately 30 cookie scones (I usually double the recipe)

½ cup butter, softened

¼ cup honey (can increase for a sweeter cookie scone)

½ tsp stevia powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg + 1 egg white (save the other yolk for an omelet)

2½ cups blanched almond flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp sea salt

1 cup chocolate chips (I use a bar of dark chocolate low in sugar, chopped)

1 cup coarsely chopped dried fruit like apricots, cherries, dates (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix butter, sweeteners, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Mix in eggs until well combined.

3. Stir in almond flour, baking soda and salt and mix well. Gently stir in chocolate chips.

4. Drop heaping tablespoon-sized dough onto baking sheets two inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

5. Enjoy! Preferably not all in one sitting!
