Golden sweet water

Nour Antoun

A sunny honey-and-turmeric cooler that tastes like summer in a glass.

Golden honey and orange cooler on ice

Golden Sweet Water started as a way to use up a jar of mountain honey and has become one of my most-requested drinks.

Warm 2 tablespoons of honey with a pinch of turmeric and a few slices of ginger in a little water until dissolved. Let it cool, then top with sparkling water, a squeeze of orange and plenty of ice.

The colour is gorgeous and the flavour gentle and warming. Make a jug of the honey base in the morning and it is ready for guests all afternoon.
