Hey, Reader!
One of the best parts about spring is everything coming back to life after a long, dreary winter. I love seeing the trees and flowers bloom as the season sets in! It brings some much needed color and brightness to the neighborhood.
Floral notes can do the same thing to your drinks, bringing bright flavors and colors that reflect the season perfectly. With no booze in sight, these recipes would be a good fit for any occasion:
floral tea bombs
These delicate delights are as fun to gift as they are to enjoy yourself! A sugar shell is filled with tea, dried flowers and other pretty add-ins. When you drop it into a mug of hot water, the shell dissolves to reveal the colorful ingredients inside.
butterfly pea flower syrup
It doesn't get much more fun than color changing drinks! Butterfly pea flower syrup is a delicious and naturally colorful sweetener that can turn drinks from blue to purple to pink and would be tasty in an Italian soda.
lavender latte
With a light sweetness and delicate floral notes, lavender is an unexpectedly delicious addition to your favorite espresso. Homemade lavender syrup is the key to this springy stunner.
virgin hibiscus margarita
With an easy swaps, this cocktail becomes a mocktail ready to enjoy anytime. Just use zero-proof tequila in place of the regular booze (you can even make your own!) and you've got a colorful, non-alcoholic sip.
rose white hot chocolate
For those lingering chilly spring days, rose white hot chocolate is the perfect thing to cozy up with. It's smooth and creamy with just the right amount of rose flavor.
Another easy way to add spring flair to your cup is by making flower ice cube — just be sure you're using edible flowers! They are an easy way to elevate a gathering and make things feel fancy.
Cheers!
