Maple Cream Soda Recipe
I haven't had soda since I was about 23 years old. I weaned myself off of that addiction in 1986. I haven't looked back. But, sometimes, I wonder if there's a way to make real, old-fashioned soda. Without the addictive sugars and other man-made chemicals. Well, there is!
1 cup sparkling spring water
1 Tablespoon organic dark maple syrup
.25 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 cup crushed ice
Pulse all ingredients in blender until thoroughly mixed. Serve immediately, or store in glass jar with tight lid so you won't loose the effervescence. Makes 2-8 ounce servings.
This soda is not as overly sweet as sodas you will buy in the store. It has a mild sweetness.

Honey Lemonade Recipe
I've been wanting to make homemade lemonade for a long time and I've finally done it!
5 organic lemons (enough to make 1 cup of juice)
4.75 cups filtered water, divided
.75 cup raw creamed honey
1 cup crushed ice
Heat .75 cup of filtered water and honey on medium-high heat. Stir until honey is dissolved.
Halve the lemons and juice them. Strain pulp and seeds. Mix juice with the honey/water syrup and 4 cups of water. Pour over crushed ice. Stir.
Makes about 6 cups of lemonade. Refrigerate until used.

Berries and Cream Recipe
This is a simple take on the typical strawberries and cream.
1 cup organic berries (choose your favorite or mix & match!)
3 Tablespoons creme fraiche
1 teaspoon cacao nibs
As you can see in the picture, I used red raspberries. The creme fraiche is by Bellwether Farms. The nibs are 100% crushed cacao beans.
Enjoy!
