Session #2: Drink - Cinnamon & Ginger Tea

Ginger and Cinnamon *Pic Googled

We were so focused in snapping photos of the food that we forgot to snap the photo of our drink. It was so yummy we gulped the whole teapot in a few minutes only. The ingredients blend well and I did not even realize it has ginger until I check the recipe. So here is how we make our tea:

Ingredients
1 1/2 sticks cinnamon
3cm ginger, halves (we just use half of it)
5 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon tea leaves
1 sprig mint leaves

Directions
1. Infuse the tea leaves for a few minutes.
2. Strain the tea into the teapot.
3. Add water and sugar and adjust to your taste.
4. Add the cinnamon sticks, mint leaves and ginger in the teapot.
5. Let the taste blend for a while then serve.

I tried the tea with some ice cubes and it was as good. Give it a try!

Session #1: Drink - Lemonade with Mint




Ingredients
3 medium sized lemon
1/2 lemon for decoration, sliced
4 tablespoon of sugar
1 sprig of mint
3-4 cups of cold water
1/4 hot water

Directions
1. Use the juicer to extract the juice from the lemons.
2. Dilute the sugar with hot water and add in the lemon juice into the pitcher.
3. Add in cold water and refrigerate for about 1 hour. You may add ice cubes if you want to serve immediately.
4. Add in the mint just before you serve.




Perfect for a hot day. Personally, I like it if it is more sour so I may add 1 or 2 more lemons. I think if we blend the lemonade with ice cubes, it will make a perfect ice blended lemonade for a very very very hot day :)
