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 Garnish
- Fresh lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Dissolve Honey: Stir the pure honey into warm water (make sure the water temperature is under 110 degrees Fahrenheit to retain honey's health benefits) until fully dissolved. Pour this mixture into a blender.
- Add Ingredients: Add the ice cubes, chilled light coconut milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger into the blender with the dissolved honey mixture.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients until frothy and semi-slushy. If your blender struggles, add the ice cubes gradually in batches until you achieve the desired texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the frozen lemonade into glasses and optionally garnish with fresh lemon slices, fresh mint, or maraschino cherries before serving.
Notes
- Keep the water temperature under 110 degrees Fahrenheit when dissolving honey to preserve its beneficial properties.
- Adjust the amount of ice cubes to achieve your preferred consistency, adding more for a thicker slush or less for a thinner texture.
- Use light coconut milk chilled well for a creamy yet light consistency.
- Optional garnishes add visual appeal and extra flavor but can be omitted if desired.
