Main Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pure honey

- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Optional Garnish

Instructions
- Dissolve Honey: Stir pure honey into warm water under 110 degrees to preserve honey's benefits until fully dissolved, then pour into a blender.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Add ice cubes, well-chilled light coconut milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to the blender.

Notes
- Ensure the water temperature stays below 110 degrees Fahrenheit when dissolving honey to retain its health benefits.

- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor and zest the lemon just before using to maximize aroma.
- You can substitute light coconut milk with another non-dairy milk for variation.
