Sunshine Tonic
Sun’s out, Tonic’s out!
A refreshing feel good tonic. Best enjoyed on breezy afternoons when it’s warm out, or served as a cocktail before your outside dinner party.
It’s packed with oranges (vitamin C!), carrots (vitamin B - skin health!) and a tangy drinking vinegar (fermented goodness!) that ties it all together. Bright, fresh, beneficial, a true sunshiny drink.
All the ingredients work wonderfully well together. Carrots and oranges as the sweet, golden duo, and apple cider vinegar with its tangy punch. As a vinegar I used the Lima drinking vinegar apple, an organic, natural and non-pasteurised vinegar with a great flavour. Because it’s unpasteurised, it still has all the good bacteria that work wonders for the gut. For those that can get their hands on a bottle, I recommend! And if not, you can use another un-pasteurised apple cider vinegar. Let’s get to it!
Ingredients (for 2)
4 organic carrots
1 piece of ginger (2 cm / 1 inch)

2 tsp honey (optional)
How to
1.
Blend the carrots with the ginger, coconut water and honey in a blender or with an immersion blender.
2.
Combine with the orange juice and then strain through a fine meshed sieve. Make sure to mash the pulp with the back of a spoon to get all those lovely juices out.
3.
Serve over lots of ice and a slice of sunshine orange.
