Below are 2 great summer drink recipes that are both refreshing and will help keep you cool. Both cucumbers and lavender have cooling properties and are great to add to your diet in the summer especially if you tend to run more on the hot side.
Lavender Lemonade
10 cups water
8 lemons
agave nectar to taste
1 drop lavender essential oil *
Squeeze lemons into a large pitcher and mix in water and agave to the sweetness you like. Add one drop of lavender essential oil and stir. Serve chilled.
* when ingesting essential oils make sure they are a therapeutic grade essential oil. Young Living has therapeutic grade essential oils and can be ordered through NAP.
