1 1/2 cups filtered water
1 large orange, juiced
a bunch of mint leaves
Beetroot ice cubes

- Remove from heat and let sit for 30 seconds; then pour into glass to cool down. Once cooled, add the filtered water, agave, orange juice, mint leaves and beetroot ice cube into a tall glass.
- Serve chilled
Chef’s tip: For the beetroot ice cube, boil 2 beets in a large pot and remove the skin. Place beet into a blender and add water (enough to make it liquid enough to freeze and pour into your ice cube molds. Freeze and enjoy!
