Summer Allergy Cherry Sparkler Recipe
The one thing that I hear from clients is their reservation to try tinctures. I can't relate to being afraid of the taste since I have taken tinctures my entire life and actually crave different herbs at different times. One of the easiest ways to take tinctures is to make the drops into a tea, cold or hot, or add it to an existing drink. Today I am going to share with you my summer allergy cherry sparkler recipe, one of my all time favorite summer drinks for allergy season.
As written, the flavor is a sparkling pop of fruity flavor with a pinch of tartness from the cherry juice, but you can really do this up in any combination, and with any tincture. I like to use the tart cherry juice since it adds to fighting the inflammation, which is part of the difficulty with allergies.
Summer Allergy Cherry Sparkler Recipe
Serves 1
Ingredients
1/2 cup organic tart cherry juice
1/2 cup sparkling water
2 squeezes of Aller-G Tincture
1 squeeze of lemon or lime (optional)
2 Tbs. chopped frozen or fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
Mix cherry juice, sparkling water, lemon or lime juice (optional), and fruit (optional). Add 2 squeezes of the dropper bulb of Aller-G Tincture. Easy peasy. No blender or shaker requires.
When I am feeling creative, I add the options lime and smashed frozen raspberries, even better if they are fresh berries that have been in the freezer for just a couple of hours. I top it off with fresh mint, thyme, or rosemary...whatever is needing harvesting.
