Health and fertility benefits of Spiced Orange Mimosas

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons white sugar
16 cloves
8 pods cardamom
4 fresh bay leaves
4 whole star anise
2 stalks lemongrass, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups fresh orange juice (about 10 navel oranges)
1 bunch fresh lemon balm, pummelled
2 cups prosecco
Fresh orange slices, for garnish

Instructions

Making the orange juice mixture: Put the sugar, cloves, cardamom, bay leave, star anise, lemongrass and 1/2 cup water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the spices release their flavor, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for another 5 minutes. Combine the spice mixture and orange juice in a bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once chilled, strain and discard the spices. Take 4 champagne flutes. Put 4 lemon balm leaves into each glass and bruise the leaves with a muddler. Pour 1/2 cup juice and 1/2 cup prosecco into each glass. Decorate with fresh orange slices.
