Beet Lemonade
Just in time for summer! Chef Chad White, of Plancha Baja Med and Sea Rocket Bistro, recently created this delicious and refreshing drink with our 4th grade students! We juiced beets and squeezed meyer lemons and then added a little agave, club soda, and finished with fresh mint and edible flowers from the garden! All of the children loved it and we think you will too!
