Take this moment to pull a few weeds and thank the plants for the abundance they share so openly. This can become a lovely early-morning ritual that will help you develop deeper relationships with the plants you grow. The herbaceous, floral flavors of your chosen herbs will mix beautifully with the sweet honey and tart lemons for a refreshing drink that never seems to lose its charm.

Yield: 1-gallon. Click here for instructions on how to make your own herbal honey at home. Add the herbal honey and lemon juice to your 1-gallon container, and stir to combine. Stir well, then serve with a lemon wheel on each glass as garnish.

Lemon brightens surfaces and leaves a naturally refreshing scent in its wake. An aperitif is an alcohol-based herbal beverage with a long and rich history dating back to at least the fifth century.

During summer, I mix cooling flowers and herbs into my aperitif recipes to lend an extra-refreshing note. Yield: 1-pint.

A few of my favorites are elderflower, rose, and chamomile. Combine bitter herbs with cooling florals in a clean, pint-sized glass jar. Add honey and juice from 1 lemon, then fill the jar the rest of the way with vodka.

Cap, label, shake to combine, then store in a cool, dark place for about 6 weeks to infuse. Every few days, shake your jar to keep the herbs fully submerged.

This is a great time to infuse your aperitif with intention and heart. After 6 weeks have passed, strain to remove the herbs and then return your finished aperitif back to your clean glass jar, or transfer to a decorative storage vessel of your choice.

To serve, sip the aperitif as-is. I adore shrubs! Popular in Colonial America, these tart and sweet herbal beverages originated as a way to preserve fruit before refrigeration existed. They combine vinegar, fruit, and herbs with a sweetener of choice. Shrubs are traditionally made with white sugar, but I swap in honey, which makes them more of an oxymel with fruit in it, if you want to get technical!

Shrubs have experienced quite a resurgence lately, and you may have even seen them on a menu at a local bar or restaurant. Shrubs are not only delicious, but they can also help your body stay hydrated. Vinegar has small amounts of electrolytes , which play a key role in keeping water balanced within your cells.

You lose electrolytes when you sweat, so drinking a shrub is a smart and delicious! way to help your body rehydrate after working in the garden, mowing your yard, taking a hike, or doing any other sort of sweaty summer activity. Combine all of the ingredients in a pint-sized glass canning jar, making sure the vinegar fills the jar completely.

Store in a cool, dark place for two weeks to infuse. Shake every few days to keep the herbs and fruit completely submerged.

After two weeks have passed, strain the solids from the liquids and transfer your liquid to a clean glass jar for storage. This is your finished shrub! To drink, combine tablespoons of your shrub concentrate with ounces of sparkling water.
