Mediterranean Refresher

Serves: 4 Time: 10 minutes

Feel refreshed and energised with this thirst-quenching delicious OSU Mediterranean Refresher, an uplifting blend of fresh apple and lemon juice, earthy thyme and tart OSU apple cider vinegar in a tonic. The addition of fresh lemons to this recipe makes it a perfect companion to your healthy routine. Lemons are high in vitamin C; a nutrient known to reduce the risk of heart-related problems and improve your body’s ability to absorb iron, helping with sustained energy release throughout the day.

Far more than just an attractive garnish, thyme has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years. With an abundance of plant phenols such as thymol and carvacrol, thyme is a potent cough suppressant and antibacterial agent, perfect for fighting coughs and colds.
