Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Spice Mix

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Other Ingredients

  • Carbonated water, chilled, to top up (about 3/4 cup per serving)
  • Ice cubes
  • Natural gelling agent (optional, about 1/4 teaspoon dissolved in warm water)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a pitcher or shaker, add the honey, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and the prepared spice mix. Stir or shake thoroughly until the honey dissolves completely and the spices blend evenly into the liquid base.
  3. Chill and Add Carbonation: Fill your serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the spiced honey mixture over the ice, then top with cold carbonated water. Stir gently to maintain the fizz while blending the flavors harmoniously.
  4. Optional Texture Boost: If a thicker mouthfeel is preferred, stir in the natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water before adding the carbonated water, then mix well to incorporate.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the finished Spiced Honey Mocktail into your favorite glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, a thin lemon wheel, or fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve fresh and chilled.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, most natural flavor.
  • If honey is thick, warm it slightly to help it dissolve smoothly into the drink.
  • Taste and adjust spice levels according to personal preference for mild or stronger heat.
  • Ensure the carbonated water is well chilled to keep the fizz intact longer.
  • Use high-quality, fresh ground spices for the best flavor intensity and aroma.
