Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pure honey
- ¼ cup warm water (under 110 degrees)
- 3-4 cups ice cubes
- 1 13.5 ounce can light coconut milk, well chilled
- ⅓ cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 lemon)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh lemon slices
- Fresh mint
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Dissolve Honey: Stir the pure honey into the warm water, ensuring the water temperature stays under 110 degrees to preserve honey's health benefits. Stir until fully dissolved before pouring into the blender.
- Add Ingredients: Add the ice cubes, well-chilled light coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger into the blender with the honey mixture.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until it becomes frothy and has a semi-slushy texture. If your blender struggles to handle all the ice at once, add the ice cubes in portions.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the frozen lemonade into glasses and garnish with fresh lemon slices, mint leaves, or maraschino cherries as desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Keep the warm water below 110 degrees when dissolving honey to maintain its beneficial properties.
- Adjust the number of ice cubes to achieve your preferred frozen consistency.
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Light coconut milk keeps the drink creamy but not too heavy.
- Optional garnishes add visual appeal and extra flavor.
