Purple Cabbage & Blueberry Wellness Drink

This vibrant homemade drink gets its beautiful deep-purple color from red cabbage and blueberries. Fresh lemon adds brightness, while a touch of honey balances the natural tartness. It is a refreshing way to enjoy a few simple whole-food ingredients in one colorful drink.

Note: This drink is not “natural morphine” and there is no good evidence that it removes rheumatic, muscle, or joint pain like a pain medication. It can simply be enjoyed as a flavorful homemade beverage.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped red cabbage
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
  • 3 cups water
  • 2–3 cloves, optional
  • Lemon slices, for serving
  • Fresh mint, for garnish
  • Ice, optional
