Alcohol. Water. Hot Drinks. Badam (Almond) Milk Recipe by HonestlyYUM. I recently stumbled upon this delightful Indian drink that had me more than a little intrigued.

Badam (Almond) Milk Recipe by HonestlyYUM

I’m not usually a big milk drinker, but when I saw it contained cardamom, saffron, and rosewater, I knew I had to give it a try. Sure enough, I was hooked. Sweet, creamy and absolutely exploding with aromatics, it’s the perfect end-of-summer treat! My recipe is only slightly adapted from this wonderful post by Cook With Manali. She has several other delicious looking recipes on her site that I can’t wait to try, for example this Afghan yogurt drink. How can you resist these ingredients? Start by soaking the almonds in water for at least two hours so that you can easily remove their skin. You can also do this quickly by blanching the almonds in boiling water for one minute (drain, then run under cold water) or by purchasing them pre-blanched, but what’s the fun in that? Blend the almonds with 1/4 cup of whole milk until the mixture reaches a grainy paste-like consistency. So preeeetty!! Homemade sugar-free Cranberry Juice...in microwave! - Food on the Table.

Juicer's Three Day Cleanse. After an exciting summer with friends & family [ & food...+ maybe some alcohol : ) ], I felt like I needed a quick detox to jumpstart my metabolism.

Juicer's Three Day Cleanse

When doing a cleanse, it is essential to select one that fits your body’s schedule & needs. I picked this Juicer’s Solana Beach cleanse to rid my system of toxins [ it was nice to drop eight pounds too- [ note: four, of which were attributed to water weight-loss ] because it fit perfectly with my work schedule. It was effortless & tasted decent. The cleanse consists of three days with different juices every hour, lots of water, & lean protein [ first, I choose ground turkey, then chicken, & lastly oysters ] with veggies at night. I would recommend this one in particular because it’s easy to make from home. To purchase my favorite pre-made juice cleanse, click here!

Salpicón. Salpicón is a fresh homemade Colombian fruit beverage.

Salpicón

It's served cold and loaded with chopped fruit such as watermelon, papaya, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, apples, bananas and carbonated soda. Serve it with a spoon to eat the fruit then drink the juice when the fruit is all gone. Thirst quenching on a hot summer day and perfect as an afternoon snack or dessert. It's been years since I walk the busy cobblestone streets of Colombia filled with street vendors in the center of town. A tropical country with a warm climate and an abundance of fresh fruit year round.

This makes a large amount and would fill a large punch bowl; great for back yard parties. As for the fruit, watermelon and fresh pineapple is a must as it gives you lots of juice; you could substitute whatever fruit is in season near you. Ingredients: Dice all fruit to equal size 1/2 inch pieces.
