Here’s a delish new twist to classic lemonade that will help you beat the summer heat. This coconut lemonade recipe is a refreshing alternative to the classic that doesn’t give you a sugar high. In fact, coconut sugar is a low glycemic sweetener that adds a caramel color and sweetness to this favorite summertime drink developed by Truth Bar creator Diana Stobo. Plus, the added spice from the cloves gives the flavor profile a kick. Cloves also have proven anti-inflammatory properties that soothe digestion.

Ingredients

2½ cups water

½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

¾ cups coconut palm sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Lemon slices

Mint leaves (to garnish)

Directions

Mix water, lemon juice, sugar, and cloves in a pitcher. Stir until sugar dissolves. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.

Enjoy!
