Make Your Own Coffee Syrup (Gift Idea) Do you have any coffee lovers on your holiday gift list this year?
(If not, feel free to go ahead and put me on your list!) This is a cute little idea for making your own flavored coffee syrups that you can use at home to take your morning cup of joe to the next level. If you are making these as a gift I highly recommend making 2-3 flavors. We made vanilla, raspberry, and caramel flavored syrups. For the vanilla syrup you need: 2 cups water, 2 cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (the clear kind is much preferred here). For the raspberry syrup you need: 2 cups water, 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup fresh raspberries. For the caramel syrup you need: 2 cups water, 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup caramel (store bought or make your own). You can add decorative labels or ribbons to these when gifting them. Enjoy!

Well, the sense of the word edible here is debatable of course.
Still, at the end of the day, you may eat the raspberries so I guess it does make sense – and the pleasure is doubled. I am not known for my love of supermarkets and their persistent imposing of unseasonal fruit and vegetable on their customer base who are often unaware of the consequences of this phenomenon. These span from an increase in CO2 emissions through air freight or greenhouse growing to causing food intolerance and allergies as a result of consuming chemically treated produce to wider social impact such as local agriculture job loss resulting from aggressive business strategies imposing untenable prices on producers as well as shunning unfashionable produce and, ultimately, dumbing down customers by offering an unchallenging choice and breaking the link with traditional foods, seasonality and nature.
Needless to say the bottle of raspberry vod was right up Kim’s street. Like this: Like Loading... Drinkify. 20 Alcoholic Beverages Inspired By The Harry Potter Series. Emma's Whiskey Ginger Recipe. We just adore whiskey gingers during the hot summer months.
I had a few of these while on our trip to Hawaii last month so I think they will now be a "beach drink" in my mind forevermore. But I don't live near a beach. So I'll just take the beach memories for now. It is easy enough to combine store-bought ginger ale and whiskey for a quick whiskey ginger. But I love this recipe because the ginger taste is so much stronger! Ginger Syrup, makes about 1 1/2 cups. Needed: 1 cup water, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups grated and thinly sliced ginger root. Grate and slice up your ginger, set aside. Easy Candied Ginger, makes about 1 cup Needed: the reserved ginger slices from making ginger syrup and 1/3 cup sugar. Rinse off the ginger slices and pat dry. To make your whiskey gingers combine 3-4 tablespoons ginger syrup, 2 cups club soda, and a shot of whiskey. Enjoy!
