Fresh Fennel Apple Limeade
This recipe is adapted from the uber-beautiful Kale & Caramel Cookbook which has tons of refreshing, healing tonics throughout its pages—all of which can be made without a juicer! Lily suggests gin, vodka, absinthe or St. German to make this into a cocktail. I didn’t use any sweetener when enjoying this as a mocktail—it was the perfect subtle sweetness.
