I boiled my beets to make… Think Pink (Beet) Pizza Crust or Roasted Beet Slaw or…
Can’t I DO something with all those nutrients in the beet water? ABSOLUTELY! Make lemonade.
Makes 2 quarts
Mix Together
3-4 cups strained juice from boiled beets (about 3 large beets)
2 cups cooled hibiscus tea (brewed strong)
(for hibiscus tea, I added 4 quarts of spring water to the beet juice, then ½-¾ cups dried hibiscus flowers) bring back to a boil and let steep until very strong. Can always add more water.
8 small lemons, juiced and seeds removed
¼ cup dark maple syrup
Filtered water to bring to 2 quarts
Pour over ice and add a wedge of lemon, mint sprigs, and/or raspberries to serve. Delightfully refreshing!
