# Refreshing First Watch Drink Recipes to Try at Home

First Watch is renowned for its delicious, health-conscious breakfast, brunch, and lunch offerings, but what often gets overlooked is their equally impressive and refreshing beverage menu. For those who cherish those moments of sipping on a uniquely crafted drink while waiting for their meal, recreating some of First Watch’s signature drinks at home can bring a slice of that joy into your daily routine. Here, we explore some easy-to-follow recipes that will allow you to enjoy a bit of First Watch magic any time of the day.

## Morning Meditation Juice

### Ingredients:
– 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
– 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
– 1 medium golden beet, peeled and sliced
– 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric root
– 1-inch piece of fresh ginger root

### Instructions:
1. Begin by prepping all your ingredients, washing, peeling, and cutting them as indicated.
2. If you have a juicer, simply feed all the ingredients through the juicer, starting with the softer items like orange and finishing with the harder ones like carrots and beets.
3. If you’re using a blender, combine all ingredients with a cup of water and blend until smooth. Then, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or a nut milk bag to separate the juice from the pulp.
4. Serve the juice immediately over ice for a refreshing and invigorating start to your day.

## Kale Tonic

### Ingredients:
– 2 cups of fresh kale leaves, stems removed
– 1 Fuji apple, cored and sliced
– 1 cucumber, sliced
– 1 cup of pineapple chunks
– A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

### Instructions:
1. As with the Morning Meditation Juice, start by preparing all your ingredients.
2. Use a juicer to juice the kale, apple, cucumber, and pineapple in that order. The moisture from the cucumber and pineapple will help to push through all the kale goodness.
3. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the extracted juice and stir well.
4. Enjoy the Kale Tonic over ice. It’s a nutrient-packed drink that will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

## Cinnamon Honey Latte

### Ingredients:
– 1 cup of your preferred milk (almond, oat, and cow’s milk all work well)
– 2 teaspoons of honey, or to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, plus more for garnish
– 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee

### Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil.
2. Whisk in the honey and cinnamon until fully combined.
3. Prepare your espresso or coffee in a large mug.
4. Once the milk mixture is hot and frothy (you can use a frother or whisk vigorously), slowly pour it into the mug with the coffee.
5. Gently stir to combine the flavors and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon for that final touch.
6. Savor your Cinnamon Honey Latte, a cozy and comforting beverage perfect for cooler mornings or lazy afternoons.
