What you'll need

  • High-powered blender — Smoothies, nut milks, and blended drinks without chunks.
  • Nut milk bag — Strain almond or oat milk to a clean, creamy finish.
  • Cold brew pitcher — Steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water overnight — no machine needed.

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the organic lemons and strain to remove seeds and pulp.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, filtered water, and raw honey until the honey is fully dissolved. Chill the lemonade base.
  3. Add the lemonade base, vanilla ice cream, and vanilla bean paste to a high-speed blender.
  4. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy — the texture of a soft milkshake.
  5. If you prefer it thicker, add the optional ice and pulse a few more times.
  6. Pour into tall glasses, garnish with fresh mint, and serve immediately with a straw and spoon.
