'Liquid Cookies' Nectar | Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Make the Camp Half-Blood nectar (a demigod's healing drink) at home for your next Percy Jackson birthday party! Just like in Rick Riordan's books, serve up a drink that looks like cold apple juice but tastes like Percy's mom's blue chocolate chip cookies.

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate syrup

- Add the butter and stir until melted and combined with cinnamon.
- Stir in the vanilla, brown sugar, and salt until combined, then stir in the white chocolate syrup. Turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 1 hour. The color will be a murky brown. at this stage.
- Pour in 1/2 cup soda water and stir to combine to make straining easier.
- Place a clean cotton tea towel in a sieve over a measuring cup and pour mixture through the towel to separate the spices. You'll end up with an apple juice-colored liquid.
