Cherry Limeade | The Family Kitchen. Cherry Limeade While my family loves fresh homemade lemonade, we also like to change it up and make limeade too. Limeade is made exactly the same way as lemonade. There are some recipes floating around the web about putting the whole limes in a blender to make limeade. However, after experimenting with this method, I would not recommend it unless you love extremely bitter drinks. Simply using the freshly squeezed lime juice, as well as some pulp if you like, is the way to go if you want a limeade without the bitterness. Today I got some 100% pure cherry juice to add to our limeade to make the perfect cherry limeade. I finished it with some club soda and simply garnished it with a lime slice and a maraschino cherry. Cherry Limeade Recipe Ingredients the juice of 4 limes, or 1/2 cup lime juice 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup water 1 cup 100% juice, no sugar added cherry juice 3 cups club soda water and ice maraschino cherries lime slices Method 1. 2.

Step-by-step-amazing-spiced-chai-concentrate from thepioneerwoman.com. Warm spices, strong tea and steamed milk swirling around in my tummy make chai lattes a favorite during the winter months. It warms me from the inside out in a way that puts coffee and tea to shame. Unfortunately, the chai concentrate from certain coffee chains is too sweet. But there is something better. It never occurred to me to make my own chai. (Certainly it must be too hard.) Here are the ingredients you’ll need: cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, star anise, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, orange zest, tea bags, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Start by bringing 4 1/2 cups water to the boil on the stove. Then you need some orange zest. The recipe says to use a piece of ginger. Once the water has come to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags. Then add your cinnamon sticks (we only add two—it just looks like we’re using four because we broke them in half).

Then add your star anise and seven cardamom pods. Now you are left with delicious, homemade chai concentrate. Description. How to make skittles vodka. A Cinnamon Sorceress | Eat with your Eyes.

I’ve been a huge Harry Potter fan since the second book came out and my husband brought it home on the recommendation of a co-worker. I stayed up until the wee hours in the morning with my eyes bugged out so I could finish reading the first and second books. Yes, this was before our kids were in the picture. So we were very excited when we had the opportunity this summer to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. As fun as it was that day, it was also hot. On that hot afternoon, I preferred the frozen version (a slushie consistency) but I liked the regular drink a little bit better overall. The mugs were really cute as well. But how would I make the mug? I picked out some really pretty glass mugs that I wanted to use, making sure that were big enough for my stencil, which measures about 4″ x 2-3/4″.

Huh? ! Clear Skin From the Inside Out : Green Smoothies. Green Smoothie In, Radiant Glow Out Her 5-year-old butt sat firmly planted on the chair, not by will. By force. Psychic mom-force. Giant, wracking sobs shook her body, as she swallowed for air through the hands over her tortured mouth. “Just ten,” the apron-wearing fascist in the kitchen yelled. She was alone.

On which was … an entire serving of peas. (“Just ten,” she thought, sobbing even in her brain.) Delicately, as if it were toxic waste, she pinched a pea between her tiny thumb and forefinger. “One.” “Two.” “Three.” Enough to save her, she hoped. “Don’t be so melodramatic! The fascist in the kitchen would never relent. Three days a week. Until one day, she won. Yes. So for the longest time, I was really hesitant to try this green smoothie (or green monster, depending on which part of the internet you’re on) thing, because … sometimes I’m still that little girl, pinching her nose and gagging. This has not happened with a single green smoothie I’ve ever made. Why? Related Posts: Lucy Knisley - CHAI! - StumbleUpon. Oh sweet!

Same goes with pomegranate juice... or figs... or dates. I love it when your comics take a turn to the psychedelic side... Holy cow I'm doing this the second I get home from work. Ok, yeah, definitely making a bigger batch next time. I used to get the best Chai tea from the cafe at Borders when I worked there, for some reason I've never had better! Yeah, they had great Chai...then their cafes became Seattle's Best and the good Chai could never be had again. Are you planning to publish a book of the various comic recipes you've been making? Twinings had a nice Indian Spice Chai in tea bags, which is nice. Oh wow this is the coolest recipe ever!

Cardamom is a lovely, lovely spice, and makes a fabulous spiced sweetened bread. I can't WAIT to try this recipe now. Try Oregon Chai.
