Staff Picks 4589998.jpg Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic Rating: 5 stars 3 This weight-loss tonic might help you slim down, even though it's not a quick fix for healthy habits. Apple cider vinegar's sour flavor (the acetic acid) may help you eat less and stay more satisfied. Green tea has caffeine and antioxidants that may help boost fat loss. Ginger might help you burn more calories. And maple syrup adds a touch of natural sweetness to this hydrating drink. Add this tonic to your diet in addition to sensible eating and exercise to help boost your weight-loss efforts. Eating Well Bio Page By EatingWell Test Kitchen 6807938.jpg Anti-Inflammatory Golden Tonic Rating: 4.5 stars 2 The momentum behind functional foods and wellness elixirs is at an all-time high. Expensive products are touted as having the power to do everything from restoring gut health to boosting immunity and fighting inflammation, but their health claims are often backed by little solid science. So instead of pricy supplements, we're mixing up a more affordable antidote that's both healthy and homemade. A tonic, by definition, is a combination of ingredients that have the potential to enhance or restore health. While this tonic (or any tonic) is not a cure-all remedy, consuming more anti-inflammatory foods—like the ones found in this tonic—over time may only not only ease current symptoms (such as fatigue, joint pain and chronic bloating), but it may also reduce the risk of future diseases and slow aging. The combination of green tea, herbs, honey, apple-cider vinegar and spices also makes for a tasty and refreshing beverage! By Jamie Vespa MS RD 6482743.jpg Warm Honey Green Tea Rating: 4 stars 1 Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and has been shown to keep your blood sugar stable. We like it flavored with orange, lemon, and honey in this easy recipe. By Diabetic Living Magazine 4572450.jpg Herbal Chamomile Health Tonic Rating: 5 stars 1 Immunity-boosting ingredients--ginger, lemon and rosemary--are steeped with soothing chamomile tea and honey for a homemade health tonic. While the drink may help when you're sick, it's not a quick fix. Drinking wellness tonics, like this one, regularly over time may help boost your immune system. Serve hot, room temperature or cold. By Carolyn Casner 4970444.jpg Color-Changing Lemonade Slushies Rating: 5 stars 1 Kids and adults alike will be wowed watching this delicious slush turn from blue to pink and purple in an instant. The magical concoction is made with natural blue tea and refreshing lemonade for a fun science experiment that's tasty too. Perfect for your child's birthday party! (Adults may enjoy spiking their drink with a little vodka or gin.) By Carolyn Casner 3759276.jpg Matcha Green Tea Latte Rating: 5 stars 4 A touch of honey balances the bitterness of matcha in this healthy latte recipe. For a nondairy latte, swap unsweetened almond, soy or coconut milk for the low-fat milk. Eating Well Bio Page By EatingWell Test Kitchen 5507724.jpg Homemade Kombucha Kombucha is a lightly fizzy, fermented tea drink that's making waves for its probiotic benefits and tart flavor. Making kombucha at home is quite simple: make sweetened tea, add it to a jar with a scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) and let it ferment for about a week. The scoby is a pancake-shaped living culture that eats most of the sugar in the tea, turning it into a tangy and delicious fermented beverage. By Sonja Overhiser 3757147.jpg Hibiscus-Pomegranate Iced Tea Rating: 4 stars 2 This herbal iced tea blends sour, berry-flavored hibiscus tea with sweet pomegranate juice. Eating Well Bio Page By EatingWell Test Kitchen 3755312.jpg Green Tea-Fruit Smoothie Rating: 3 stars 1 Start your day with a burst of antioxidants in this energizing healthy smoothie recipe. Patsy Jamieson By Patsy Jamieson 3758319.jpg EatingWell Energy Drink Here's a refreshing lemony energy drink recipe to give you a caffeine energy boost when you don't want coffee. It's a double-strength brew of green tea plus yerba maté and delivers about 135 mg caffeine plus antioxidants. Compared with store-bought energy drinks, this homemade energy drink recipe saves about 150 calories and has less than half the sugar. Add an extra-fresh taste by garnishing the rim with chopped mint. Yerba maté is a tea made from the leaves of a South American tree. Look for it with other tea in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets or natural-foods stores. Eating Well Bio Page By EatingWell Test Kitchen 5515635.jpg Lavender-Chamomile Herbal Tea Rating: 5 stars 1 The scent alone of this stress-relieving tea will lead you to relaxation. Mint is a wonderful stomach soother and aids in digestion. Chamomile and lavender help prevent insomnia and serve as a great combination to sip before bed.

If you can't find fresh peaches, thawed frozen peaches will work too, with a slightly more subtle flavor. Katie Webster By Katie Webster Moroccan Mint Tea Ataya Maghrebi Nana Moroccan Mint Tea Ataya Maghrebi nana, as this tea is known in parts of Northwest Africa (Maghreb) and West Africa, is a cultural culinary totem. Made with green tea, dried lemon verbena and fresh spearmint, the aromatic mix is refreshing and transporting. In Morocco, the tea is poured from a pot that is held in the air so that the tea is aerated; the sound of the pouring tea is thought to add to the pleasure of drinking. Also, the pot is refilled with boiling water three times to give three different strengths of the beverage. This is a simplified version of the traditional recipe.

Elderberries are packed with antioxidants that can help support your immune system. We use homemade elderberry syrup, but store-bought would work just as well. By Jamie Vespa, M.S., RD Tacoway Pine Drink Pine Drink At Tacoway Beach, a taco stand inside the Rockaway Beach Surf Club at New York's Rockaway Beach, this refreshing drink is served alongside some of the best fish tacos around. We love how it gets its vibrant flavor from pineapple trimmings before you toss them in the compost. (No need to peel the ginger, either.) Piloncillo is the traditional Mexican cone-shaped unrefined cane sugar; aka panela, it can be found in most Latin or Mexican markets or online.
