Cornbread, lemonade and smoothie bowls are a few of the recipes that can be made through the 'Dirty Dishes' recipes from Charity: Water and Buzzfeed. These step-by-step recipes make use of simple and fairly standard ingredients, except for one that is very hard to come by for a lot of people. These recipe videos are designed to bring light to the issue that millions of people around the world live without access to clean drinking water. As a result, these recipes are made with dirty brown water and include instructions like: "serve with antibiotics" or "serve with a stomach pump."
As part of the Fight Dirty campaign, these Tasty Videos for Charity: Water will run on the BuzzFeed Partner Facebook page and BuzzFeed's Discover channel on Snapchat.
