Notes

Adapt this recipe to fit your preferences:
  • Use cold brewed coffee, tea, almond milk, or coconut water as the base
  • Add other fruits or flavors
A note on egg yolks: Many people feel uncomfortable using raw eggs in any form. After much research, I feel comfortable giving my children raw egg yolks as long as I know and trust the source of the eggs. But as always, do your own research before consuming any food raw!
