Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Hibiscus Limeade with Lemon Balm


Yesterday I put up a How to post for making your own Hibiscus Syrup, so it only seems fair to share one of my favorite recipes to use it. As I mentioned in my previous post, the first time I had Hibiscus tea was from a Trinidadian neighbor. She would make the tea by putting about 3-4TBLSPs Hibiscus Syrup in a glass with ice and filling it the rest of the way with water, simple and refreshing. I decided to experiment a little and add some herbs and fruits from the garden, and that's how I came up with Hibiscus Limeade with Lemon Balm. This refreshing summer cooler has a slightly sweet floral taste with hints of citrus. It's perfect for a hot summer afternoon, and it can always be taken up a notch for an evening social by adding some Rum. I like to add Coconut Rum to top off that Tropical feel! :)

Here is my recipe for Heavenly Hibiscus Limeade with Lemon Balm:


Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients:

1 Cup Hibiscus Syrup
3 TBLSP Fresh Lime Juice
1 Thinly slice Lime
A Handful of Fresh Lemon Balm
4 cups of Cold Water
Ice


Optional: 8 oz. Coconut Rum

1. Pour the water into a pitcher, put the cleaned Lemon Balm leaves in the pitcher and mottle them thoroughly.



2. Add the Lime juice, Hibiscus Syrup, and mix thoroughly before adding the Lime slices.




Serve with Ice and garnish with a Lime slice and a sprig of Lemon Balm. Enjoy!
