women's empowermint tea.

conscious cocktails by lucid ladybug | crafted for the dark goddess of summer styled shoot w. @freyabearphotography on August 12, 2023

Featuring fresh mint and nasturtium flowers from our garden plus locally sourced tea and honey.

Here’s what you’ll need:

filtered water

6 mint tea bags (or 6-8 tablespoons of loose tea)

bundle of fresh mint

2-3 knobs of ginger

1/2 cup of local honey

4 limes

liter of club soda

Here’s what to do:

Fill a large pasta pot with filtered water and bring to a boil.

Once water comes to a boil turn the burner off and place the tea, mint bundle + 2-3 knobs of fresh ginger (peel + cut in half) into the pot, put the lid on, and let it steep for 30-40 minutes.

Remove the lid and discard the tea bags, mint, and ginger. Drizzle the honey, whisking it into the warm tea. Allow ample time for the tea to cool then strain the tea into a pitcher.

Serve over ice, topping with club soda and a twist of lime. Garnish with a fresh nasturtium flower.

Be well, Meghan
