Macademia Nut Milk Iced Latté

  I am on the official search for a creamy non-dairy milk.  I have come across Macademia Nut milk and it is delicious! I got an unsweetened kind by "Milkademia" and you can find it in the pantry aisle of stores like Sprouts.  I guess you could also make your own if you are so inclined! You would just need raw shelled nuts and water, and a cheese cloth to strain it. (You can make almond milk like this too).  I added a little vanilla extract for sweet, feel free to sweeten it with a little honey if you like.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cold coffee ( or warm works)
  
• 1 cup ice
  
• 1/2 cup nut milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Recipe:

1. Add ice into the jar or glass
   
2. Add coffee, leave about 2 inches at the top.
   
3. Pour milk over ice until it reaches the top.
   
4. Add vanilla extract in, and mix slightly to get the swirls of milk.
   

Perfect to wake you up in the morning!

Cilantro Lime Spritzer

  When the spring and summer weather rolls in, I like something more refreshing to drink on the patio, but nothing too sweet.  This is as simple as it sounds, a spritzer made with fresh herbs and seltzer.  I like to experiment with different herbs.  This one is made with lime and cilantro.  Other combinations that work well are strawberry and basil, orange and mint, and lemon and rosemary. 
Try it out! The straw is paper and compostable :)

Tip: I love growing herbs on the patio, then I just pull what I need when I need it! 

Healthy tip; Cilantro is a great detoxifying herb, and so is lemon/lime.  Use it for liver support.

Ingredients:

• 2 sprigs of fresh cilantro
  
• Ice
  
• Seltzer water such as Perrier
  
• a splash of "limemade" or 1/2 fresh squeezed lime (depends on if you like sweet)
  

Recipe:

1. Fill the glass or jar with ice
   
2. Fill the seltzer and leave about 1 inch room at the top
   
3. Add the herbs
   
4. Add the splash of either juice or fresh squeezed fruit.  If you are using fruit you cannot squeeze (like strawberries for example), then muddle them a little in a bowl and add on top.
   

Refreshing!
