I bet you’ve never had watermelon like this before! And what a great way to enjoy it.

Warm Live Teas are like Warm Live Soups in that they are smoothies made of raw ingredients which are then warmed briefly to a soothing temperature that’s almost hot to the tongue, but comfortable to your skin when touched.

And they are delicious.

While I love cold drinks, I don’t think it’s particularly healthy to drink too many of them, and I know of people who don’t like them at all. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practitioners often caution against drinking cold beverages or too much cold food, believing that it can dampen the “digestive fire”.

These Warm Live Teas are full of living nutrients, rich in enzymes that are still viable, and made so fresh that the recipe is literally 2 minutes from the time your knife slices open the fruit til it hits your lips with its soothing goodness.

And you will find that there is something unexpected about watermelon used this way… it almost mimics the creaminess of hot cocoa. In fact, I have made watermelon-raw cacao “chocolate milk” before and was surprised to find how well they go together.

But here I have paired Watermelon and Fresh Ginger Root together, as well as Watermelon and Vanilla.

Watermelon-Ginger is extremely warming and robust… it will both soothe AND energize you. While Watermelon-Vanilla is mild, comforting, and mellow.

Don’t let these intimidate you because you’ve never had fresh fruit this way before. Dive in. I know you will love them.

:D
