Mint is an amazing medicinal herb!!👇🏻 ✨soothes the GI tract ✨relieves bloating ✨rich in vitamins & minerals ✨is incredibly refreshing Raw mint leaf syrup 🌱 Wash and remove the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop them so they release their aroma. To a jar, layer equal parts of chopped mint leaves and sugar. Add a very generous drizzle of lemon juice (2-3 lemons). Press gently. Close the lid and let it sit in your fridge for 48 to 72 hours. Every day give it a quick mix. You will notice that the mixture slowly starts to liquefy. You will know it’s ready once the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns a light green color. Strain and store in the fridge! Tips: Use white granulated sugar as any other sugar will alter the taste of the mint syrup. If it takes longer to macerate, it’s usually because of too much sugar - I added a little water to help dissolve the sugar. Mint Lemonade 🍋🌱 To big cup, add some ice, the juice of one lemon, some mint leaf syrup and fill with sparkling water. Mix and enjoy:) #mintsyrup #homemadesyrup #mintlemonade

don’t throw your strawberry tops away!!!!🍓👇🏻 Cut the tops off your strawberries. I froze mine until I had enough. To a jar, layer equal parts of strawberry tops and sugar. I didn’t measure anything and it turned out fine! Squeeze 1 lemon. Close the lid and let it sit in your fridge for 24 to 48hours. Every day give it a quick mix. You will notice that the mixture slowly starts to liquefy. You will know it’s ready once the sugar totally dissolved and the syrup turns a bright red color. Strain and store in the fridge! Tips: If it takes longer to macerate, it’s usually because of too much sugar - add a little water to help dissolve the sugar. Strawberry Lemonade 🍋🍓 To big cup, add some ice, the juice of one lemon, sparkling water and a splash of your homemade strawberry syrup! Mix and enjoy:) #strawberrysyrup #homemadesyrup #strawberryrecipes

Let’s see if holistic things *actually* work 🥲 These are just common sense to me but to others they are “weird” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Plus they’re extremely low-cost !! #holisticliving #holistichealth #holistichabits
