Health and fertility benefits of Loki

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Green tea has been found in recent studies to actually reverse insulin resistance, as it increases the number of glucose receptors on cells in key tissues.

Ingredients

5 fresh sage leaves
Shaved ice
2 ounces Green Tea-Infused Vodka, recipe follows
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce Honey Peach Syrup, recipe follows
2 dashes bitters (recommended: Angostura)
Ice cubes, for shaking
Splash club soda
1 bar spoon fresh mashed peaches, for garnish

Instructions

Place 1 fresh sage leaf into a small mason jar and press gently - do not muddle. Top with shaved ice.

Add more shaved ice and 3 more sage leaves to the mason jar. Strain the vodka mixture into the jar. Top with more shaved ice and stir slowly. Top with club soda just to the neck of the jar. Top with more shaved ice and garnish with mashed fresh peaches and the remaining sage leaf.
