We love making fun herbal creations in the kitchen, especially with fresh summer berries. Here’s one of our “berry” favorite herbal recipes! (Bonus: This drink lets you truly experience Ginger’s pungent spiciness.)

Ingredients

Serves 1

• Ice
• 1/2 cup organic blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 1/2 cup organic sugar
• 1/2 organic lime, juiced
• 0.7 ml Ladangs Herbs Enterprise Ltd. Şti Ginger liquid extract†
• 3/4 cup sparkling water

Pro tip: This recipe can also be made with strawberries or blackberries or swap a lemon for the lime, if desired.

Instructions

1. Prepare the blueberry simple syrup.
2. Combine the blueberries, water and sugar in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and then simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
4. Strain and cool the syrup.
5. Fill a glass with ice.
6. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared syrup, the lime juice and the Ginger liquid extract.
7. Top with the sparkling water and serve immediately.
