    Sometimes life can just feel so blah. Every day the same with no promise of change. It's not always easy to look for the magic, seek gratitude, and stay positive. Sometimes you need something or someone else to come along and yank you out of your malaise. But you also have to stay ready to say yes to that pull when it arrives.

    Being a human can be hard work at any age. I'm grateful to my witchcraft practice which takes my experience with food beyond just nutrition and into the realms of nurturing. I can tune in to the metaphysical properties of an ingredient, or just follow my intuition and allow a dish to bring me the positive experience I really need. I can give my food the intention to change not just change my mood, but to also uplift everyone who eats it. Can one great recipe change the world? I don't know, but it can definitely make someone's day.

    What makes this Lemongrass Gin Cocktail so awesome?

    This Lemongrass Gin Cocktail is made with a herby simple syrup with chopped fresh lemongrass, mint, and ginger. Use fresh mint and ginger if you have them or add a pinch of dried mint and some ground ginger. Work with what you got. We're gonna need an extra stalk of lemongrass for stirring, obviously.

    Use your favorite gin, a squeeze of lime juice, lemongrass syrup to your liking, and some gingerale to add bubbles and bite. You'll be swept away to a beach in Thailand with every sip. I highly recommend drinking this outside in the sunshine if you can get it.

    Magical Properties of Lemongrass

    Lemongrass is often used in love and lust spells, so add some to a spell to draw the perfect partner to you. It can also help you heal from a broken heart and protect you from a relationship that's headed in the wrong direction. It seems like lemongrass just wants you to be happy in love.

    Lemongrass can also help you open your third eye and increase your psychic abilities as it's tied to the moon. It also corresponds with the element of air and the planet Mercury, as well as the astrological sign of Gemini, so it's great for communication. Lemongrass can help you open your higher chakras, throat, third eye, and crown. (Source: Practical Magic for Beginners by Maggie Haseman)

    Tips for making a Lemongrass Gin Cocktail

    If you're making this recipe for a crowd rather than just for one, you'l obviously need to make more syrup. I recommend doing this in a small saucepan to make sure your sugar is fully dissolved. The longer you let your herbs steep in the hot sugar and water solution, the stronger the flavor will be. Just strain out the herbs when you'r ready to mix your drinks.

    Then all that's left to do is make cocktails. You don't need a shaker or anything like that. Just mix your ingredients right in the glass. If you want to make a pitcher for a party, you could mix together everything except for the ginger ale ahead of time. That way your drink doesn't go flat. When you're ready to party, give the mixture a good stir, put it in a pretty pitcher, and add the ginger ale before you start pouring them out over lots of ice.
