What drink do you like to serve when you have guests?  For many years we hosted Easter at our home. My husband has 6 siblings and my family has been in the same area for 6 generations, so what that means is – LOTS of people.

I figured out long ago that I could really save money if I made the drinks myself for these big family parties instead of filling up ice chests of store-bought drinks.

“What would it mean for our health if we drank delicious, medicinal healing beverages for our daily refreshment?”

This is a recipe that I came up with and people loved it!

Try out this crowd pleasing, refreshing basil ginger limeade that not only will your people love, but it’s packed with health benefits. This is a tried and true recipe that I’ve been serving for more than 2 decades to family, friends and to my students in class.

What are your go-to drinks when the feast takes place on your turf?

What do you think about trying this one?! This delicious drink is great for summer but you can also serve it warm in the winter.

See the whiteboard in this video? That is a (partial) list of all the healing benefits of ginger. Ginger is anti-inflammatory and helps keep away colds. Basil is the great digester; it is the perfect drink for feasts and potlucks, it will help you digest your meal!

One of the best ways to get herbs into your family is to get it into yummy tasting drinks. Do you eat healthy organic food, but maybe could use a little boost in creating healthy drinks? What would it mean for our health if we drank delicious, medicinal healing beverages for our daily refreshment?

Check out this video where I show you a few tricks for making delicious Basil Ginger Limeade and let me know what you think!
