Healthy Kid Berry Berry Beverage that will compete with Kool Aid!

Simmer 5 herbal berry tea bags in 1 1/2 quarts of water for about 15 min., turn off heat add heaping 1/4tsp of stevia concentrate, pour over 1/2 gallon container filled with ice - you now have a sweet kid beverage. (I sometimes add 2 oz concentrated juice to this recipe, i.e., black cherry, blueberry, etc., which makes great ice pops! Maraline)

Everyday Lemonade or Limeade

Makes a Gallon

1 cup fresh Lemon Juice (mixed with Lime if you like)

1/2 tsp (heaping) Stevia Concentrate

1 gallon pure water

Make it pink – add raspberries (puree them), Make it blue – add blueberries

Lemon or Lime Pops: Freeze lemonade, but add berries, or juice of berries to change color, add coconut milk to get that 50/50 taste

We use CitriStar Juicer to quickly juice our lemons and limes

Everyday Healthy Rooibos Ruby Red Ice Tea

(Tastes Just Like Black Tea, if not better!)

If you can make sun tea, all the better, but if not, or if you are in a hurry, here is a great recipe:

• 1 1/2 quarts pure water, bring to a boil
• Add 3-4 Rooibos Tea Bags
• Add 1/4 tsp stevia concentrate
• Turn heat down and simmer 15-20 minutes
• Pour over a 1/2 gallon pitcher of ice

You can certainly use loose tea, and as a notation, we use Rooibos for our hot tea. Being British, it takes a special tea to replace Black Breakfast Tea!

Healthy Sparkling Juice Soda All Year!

Using ANY ONE of the following concentrates:

• Fresh lemon juice (or lime, or half of each)
• Ginger Juice (from the Ginger People, easily found) or Fresh Ginger
• Unsweetened Black Cherry Juice (health store favorite)
• Or any unsweetened juice or puree
• Mix blueberry and pomegranite concentrate together

• Add Sparkling Mineral Water (any healthy source)
  

Recipe: Make Soda by the glass so it is highly carbonated & tasty.

• 1 oz concentrated juice for every 6 oz of concentrated juice
• stevia to taste (we use 1/16th - 1/8th tsp for 16oz)
• stir with chopsticks until stevia disappears
• add ice then the sparkling mineral water
• Optional floating condiments sliced lemons or berries

Build to taste, once you have it the way you like it, mark it on a card and offer the card as instructions as you lay out the ingredients for your guests to build their own! This tastes great and is great fun, and a great way for kids to see they can have their soda and drink it too!

Healthy Fruit Juice (low acid, pHealthy)

• Pure Concentrate Juice (blueberry, wild cherry, pomegranite, etc)
• Stevia to taste (we use 1/4 tsp per 1/2 gallon)
• Water (usually 6:1 ratio of water to juice concentrate)
