Adaptogenic Spritzer
This adaptogenic spritzer is a refreshing and invigorating way to start your day or power through an afternoon slump. It's made with sparkling water, almond milk, lemon juice, honey, and a blend of adaptogenic herbs, including ashwagandha and rhodiola rosea. These herbs are known to help the body cope with stress, so this spritzer is a great way to help you stay calm and focused throughout the day. It's also a good source of electrolytes, which are important for staying hydrated and maintaining proper fluid balance.
The idea for this adaptogenic spritzer came to me after a long day of recipe testing. I was feeling stressed and exhausted, and I needed something to help me relax and unwind. I had been reading about the benefits of adaptogenic herbs, so I decided to experiment with making a spritzer with them. I started with a base of sparkling water and almond milk, then added lemon juice for brightness, honey for sweetness, and a blend of ashwagandha and rhodiola rosea powders for their adaptogenic properties. I also added a pinch of sea salt to help balance out the flavors. The result was a delicious and refreshing spritzer that helped me to relax and de-stress. I've been making this spritzer regularly ever since, and I always feel better after drinking it.
