Instructions
Pineapple Chamomile Base
Bring pineapple juice to a boil. Once boiling, turn off heat completely and immediately add ½ cup chamomile flowers.
Steep for 25-40 minutes.
Strain chamomile flowers off, retaining liquid in a separate container
Mint Syrup
Strip mint leaves to separate them from their stem
Add mint leaves and sugar to a medium mortar or otherwise durable bowl
Using a pestle, firmly press and rub the sugar into the mint, pounding and rubbing the mint leaves against the sugar to break the mint down until it resembles a paste. We bruise our mint leaves in order to break down the cell walls and allow the essential oils and flavors to release easily into our mocktail.
Mango Margarita
Add frozen mango, cayenne powder, ginger powder, clove powder, pineapple and chamomile base, and mint syrup to a blender. Blend thoroughly or until desired consistency is reached.
(Optional): wipe the rim of your favorite frozen mocktail cup with a lime and place the cup rim-side-down in a shallow plate containing a mixture of fine cane
sugar and ginger powder
Pour blended base into your favorite frozen mocktail cup until it is ⅔ way full. Top off with sparkling water and stir gently to incorporate.
Enjoy!
