Impress your clients and staff with this healing Peach-Blueberry Thyme Elixir. Peaches and blueberries pair nicely together, and a sprig of thyme packs a powerful punch of savory sweetness. You can customize this drink with a number of healing gemstones.
Quartz crystals are the safest to use in beverages as they contain silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Snowflake obsidian is not quartz, but a volcanic glass that is also made of SiO2 and great for beverages. It does not contain any iron oxides, asbestos or harmful elements that can leach into the water.
Amethyst helps you tap into wisdom and a sense of knowing beyond cognitive thinking, while aventurine helps you forgive yourself and others to create peace within. Blue quartz calms your throat so that you speak positively about yourself and others.
Carnelian fuels your creativity and passion for life, and citrine is like the sun in a stone, helping you to show up and shine! Clear quartz is the wild card of the gemstone world, helping wherever you need it. Rose quartz is the love stone, helping you to feel lovable so you can share your love with others, and snowflake obsidian sheds light in the dark when you are feeling stuck.
Peach-Blueberry Thyme Elixir
- Assorted polished gemstones
- Clean water, pitcher and ice
- 2 ripe peaches
- ½ cup blueberries
- Fresh sprigs of thyme
- ¼ cup honey or agave nectar (optional)
Place an assortment of clean, polished gemstones in the bottom of the pitcher and fill with ice. Peel one peach, removing the pit. In a separate glass container, place a few sprigs of thyme and one cup of hot water. Stir in sweetener until it dissolves (optional). For a fruity flavor, lightly muddle a few slices of peach in the mixture.
Pour mixture over the ice and add cold water until almost full. Slice the second peach, leaving the skin intact, and place it into the beverage. Add the blueberries, garnish with thyme sprigs, pour and enjoy!
*Do not use the following stones in your beverage: sodalite, fluorite, tiger’s eye, malachite, hematite, mica, selenite or any iron ores such as pyrite or peacock ore. These can leach harmful elements into the beverage.*
