Spook your friends out this Halloween by making them this Black Lemonade!
Made with activated charcoal – an amazing detoxifying powder with many other benefits, which you can read about here. It gives this Lemonade an awesome colour perfect for Halloween!
Warning! – I’ve been advised that taking activated charcoal may interfere with other medications you may be taking, sometimes preventing full absorption of your medications. Please be careful when taking this product.
Our friend Ric (The Cat Man!) first made us this Black Lemonade after having it on a trip to the Philipines, and we fell in love! If you love cats, definitely check out Ric’s Facebook Page, Rescue Ninjas. They do incredible rescues, and save cats from the streets and other dire situations.
We’ve used activated charcoal for a few other recipes on our blog, including our Black Bat Cookies recipe too, and our Black Midnight Bagels!
If you’re after some other Halloween recipes try out our Draculas Love Potion, our Vegan Mummy Dogs, Mini Blood Cupcakes or our Spooky Raw Cucumber Coffins.
I just thought of the coolest thing – you could totally add ice-cream to this and make a Black Lemonade Spider! Yummmm! If anyone does this, please let me know!
Wishing you a Spooktacular Halloween and if you make this Black Lemonade, don’t forget to tag us on Instagram and Facebook!
