How To Make A Simple Italian Soda Recipe With Fresh Thyme

2hero_tonic_blog

Eating clean doesn’t mean we have to give up our fancy cocktails. This blackberry-thyme italian soda recipe is an antioxidant packed substitute for those sweet alcoholic drinks. It’s also a great excuse to add fresh fruit and herbs into our day. Stopping by the local farmer’s market to stock up on fresh locally grown ingredients, is a great way to get nutritious ingredients, for this simple, yet refreshingly delicious italian soda.

We know that having a fun and tasty cocktail to relax with next to the pool, at a BBQ, or on the warm sands of the beach is a summer staple. Don’t worry, while on the 21-Day Cleanse Program we still have tons of great options for fun and fruity mocktails, one of which is our fizzy blackberry-thyme italian soda recipe.

The Benefits of Blackberries in Our Italian Soda Recipe

A blackberry is ripe and ready when they are plump, dry, darkly-colored and are neither too firm nor too squishy. Blackberries are very nutrient dense fruit and contain an abundance of antioxidants. They are also essential in helping improve digestive health. Blackberries contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which assists with the absorption of water in your intestines, resulting in more frequent movements.

Cocktail Thyme: How This Herb Freshens up This Italian Soda

Thyme may not be the first ingredient we think of when you think of a summer cocktail, but this stuff is packed with Vitamin C and Vitamin A, to help ward off coughs and colds, along with many other benefits, making it an awesome immune boosting herb.

Serves: 2

Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh blackberries

2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus a few lemon slices

3-4 sprigs of thyme

4-5 ice cubes

8 ounces club soda

a few drops of stevia or 1 teaspoon of coconut palm sugar

Directions:

Place the blackberries, thyme, sweetener, lemon juice, and ice in a jar.
