Flavored Lemonade Inspiration

Flavored Lemonade Inspiration
Elsie and I are starting to plan some spring/summer back-yard parties for this coming season. It's going to be my first summer in my house (just became a first time home-owner this past autumn). We plan to host a few little get togethers, I may build a small fire pit for s'mores. Grapefruit Lemonade- to a large pitcher of lemonade add in 2 cups of grapefruit juice and fresh slices of grapefruit. Strawberry and Basil Lemonade- to a large pitcher of lemonade add 2-3 cups of chopped strawberries and a handful of chopped basil. Cucumber Mint Limeade-to a large pitcher of limeade (or lemonade) add one cucumber, thinly sliced, and a handful of chopped mint leaves. Blackberry Lemonade- to a small pitcher of lemonade add 1 cup of slighlty mashed blackbarries. Happy Monday!

Arnold Palmer Mix Up Arnold Palmers are my favorite summer drink! These sweet treats are half ice tea and half lemonade. They are named after a famous golfer. Some people also call these half and halfs. I've been playing around with different fruit tea varieties at my studio and I thought they would be fun to share. I love that they are sweet, but much less sweet than lemonade. First I make sun tea. I add fresh fruit to my Arnold Palmers. Here are a few of my favorite combinations. Peach tea + Lemonade + Fresh grapefruit is my favorite combination. I love raspberry anything, so this combination is another favorite. I hope some of you get to try this recipe for the first time this summer! PS.

Всё в наших руках, поэтому их нельзя опускать. Я, знаете, какая-то все таки не настоящая женщина, ибо я практически ненавижу шоппинг!!! Да, я люблю красивые шмотки, стараюсь выглядеть стильно, но я не люблю тратить на это время. В магазине я могу быть максимум минут 15. 10 минут выбирать, и пять минут мерить. Если я не укладываюсь в это время, у меня начинается психоз, и скорее всего я уйду ни с чем. Я реально какой-то мужик прям в этом плане(( Я не понимаю вот этих "девочковых шоппингов на целый день". У меня через час взорвется мозг, и я сяду в кафе ждать девочек. Если честно, мне даже лень сидеть на сайтах, чтобы заказать он-лайн. Ну и касаемо брендов и стоимости вещей..Как-то лет 6-7 назад, когда у меня появились первые "большие" деньги, я оказалась во Флоренции и потратила за час порядка 10 тыс евро. Вот положите передо мной 10 тыс евро (ну я не знаю, сколько стоит Биркин?). Но это я! А это все наверно знаете от чего?

Bubble Tea Recipe: How to make Boba at home! For years we tried to make bubble tea at home with no luck. Since opening our own bubble tea business in Red Velvet we learned that most boba drinks made at restaurants or cafes use commercial grade syrups (or powders) to get that wonderful sweet, fruity flavor. But this leaves you in a pickle if you are wanting to make a delicious boba drink at home for yourself or your family, as most commercial grade syrups or powders are sold in large quantities and can be a really expensive option for someone just looking to make boba drinks for a casual get together. Emma developed this super tasty at-home recipe that you don't need any special supplies for (except boba pearls, of course!). Here's a recipe for a Strawberry Boba Slushie that anyone could easily make at home with ingredients that can be found at the grocery store. To make the boba pearls use this method.
