15 New Year Mocktails and Drinks for the Sober Curious
Holiday Hipster (Warm Kombucha Cider)
Bet you’ve never had kombucha like this before! We’ve crossed all the great things about cider with everything we love about kombucha. It’s a match made in heaven! Pro Tip: Gently heat the kombucha instead of boiling it to retain all its healthful benefits.
You may have seen a video of whipped coffee on social media, and it’s surprisingly easy to make. Our version includes healthy honey as the sweetener. Pro Tip: The whipped coffee foam can be made ahead. Give it a little whisk before serving, and it’ll fluff back up.
