Coconut Mocktails
We are combining coconut and cardamom. Few will dispute the benefits of coconut water. It’s low in calories, and rich in potassium, dietary fibre, and vitamin C. On the contrary, few know the benefits of Cardamom, a spice commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine, and chock-full of benefits. Put the two together, and you get a powerful combination of health-infused refreshment! Here’s a super easy recipe for our Moms (and Dads-to-be).
