Cooling Elixir for Warm Weather

When it’s hot out, try this Ayurveda Cold Infusion!

COLD INFUSION

CUCUMBER MOCKTAIL

(serves 2)

• two 8 oz mason jars with lids

• juice of 1 lime (extra lime wedges for garnish)

• 1 cucumber, peeled

• sprig of fresh mint (optional)

In lieu of drinking heat inducing beverages during summer (like alcohol)—try a cooling elixir instead.

Especially during persistent heat, Cold Infusions are a great method to cool your body down from the inside out:

1. Roll lime to express its juice

2. Squeeze lime juice, divided, into the bottom of each 8 oz mason jar

3. Peel the cucumber and cut into thin slices

4. Place 5-6 slices in the bottom of each jar

5. Add 1-2 mint leaves to each jar

6. Fill jars with regular filtered water

7. Cover with lid and shake

8. Place jar in the refrigerator and steep for at least a few hours, up to 8 hours, or even overnight

9. Remove from the fridge and let sit 15 min before you consume

Relax and Enjoy!
