Golden Sweet Water
Fadi Antoun
A sunny, honey-and-turmeric cooler that tastes like summer in a glass.
Golden Sweet Water started as a way to use up a jar of local honey and has become one of my most-requested drinks.
Warm 2 tablespoons of honey with a pinch of turmeric and a few slices of ginger in a little water until dissolved. Let it cool, then top with sparkling water, a squeeze of orange and plenty of ice. Add a shot of white rum or gin if you want a cocktail.
The colour is gorgeous, the flavour is gentle and warming, and it is just as good as a non-alcoholic afternoon refresher.
