Our family has been living abroad in Tel Aviv, Israel for the past 7 months, but we move back to the states in two days! It’s hard to believe our time has come to a close. Our apartment is down the block from the largest open air market in the city, which has been a great source of inspiration for seasonal eating. I’ve spent many hours in our little galley kitchen, cooking new foods and coming up with recipes to bring home as a remembrance of our time here. One of those is my take on an Israeli staple: Mint Lemonade. I make mine with raw honey and add mint ice cubes. It’s perfect for the summer days ahead!
