Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3-4 cups ice cubes
- 1 13.5 ounce can light coconut milk, well chilled
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 lemon)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
Optional Garnishes
- fresh lemon slices
- fresh mint
- maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Prepare honey mixture: Stir honey into warm water kept under 110 degrees Fahrenheit to dissolve it completely while preserving honey’s beneficial properties. Once dissolved, pour this mixture into a blender.
- Add other ingredients: Add ice cubes, chilled coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to the blender.
- Blend until frothy: Blend all ingredients until the mixture becomes frothy and semi-slushy. If your blender struggles, blend the ice cubes in batches to reach the desired texture.
- Garnish and serve: Pour the frozen lemonade into glasses, garnish with lemon slices, fresh mint, or maraschino cherries as desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep the warm water below 110 degrees when dissolving honey to maintain its health benefits.
- Adjust the number of ice cubes to achieve your preferred frozen consistency.
- Use light coconut milk for a creamier texture without overpowering the lemon flavor.
- Fresh lemon zest adds extra brightness; avoid using dried zest for the best taste.
- This recipe serves 2, but ingredients can easily be doubled for more servings.
