A final fox tip
This recipe is traditionally made in Mexico as a simple blended beverage with any kind of fresh fruits. By adding cranberries and citrus fruits, not only do we keep it seasonal, but also turn it into a delicious and refreshing drink for winter. Try swapping out mint with basil for a different burst of freshness, or add a handful of spinach for an extra health kick! Kids can help by adding all the ingredients to the blender and pouring into glasses.
