NON ALCOHOLIC DRINKS...........USE SANE AND SENSIBLE IDEAS FOR HEALTHY DRINKS
NON ALCOHOLIC DRINKS.......................MAKE A SANE AND SENSIBLE CHOICE............................................
I glanced at a magazine last week and it was an entire magazine telling you what you could drink in summer. Every one is laced with vodka and jazzed up with alcohol, liquors and more vodka.
Catch a wake up...........................if you are parents ,do not let this be the style or trend in your home. If you are a teenager, be brave enough to say I prefer non alcoholic drinks. That is cool....not to be as fool.
I believe drinking as a social trend is dangerous and totally misunderstood by young people. When an adult drinks a Scotch and takes a brandy.................he knows how and when to drink it.
Youngsters just have no education in this field, have too much money to waste and think it makes them one of the guys..................................what a waste of good body organs and not to discuss what you show in weakness and a lack of self respect..
FUN...AND SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE.
HERE ARE SOME COOL, TASTY AND EASY TO PREPARE DRINKS FOR SUMMER.
Firstly you need a few jugs, good clean and tall glasses, straws and lots of ice cubes.
ICED TEA....a long time favorite. I make this with tea bags ,some Sunrider Stevia, the natural sweetener, lemon and mint leaves, Serve with crushed ice.
FORTUNE DELIGHT LEMON is a good and easy choice. Just add a bag to a few glasses of water. The taste and quality make this a good choice.
FRUIT PUNCH.
1 liter fruit juice and 500grms of diced fruit you like. Add l liter soda or lemonade. Mix and chill.
CRANBERRY AND PEACHES.
Make a large jug of cranberry juice and add GRATED peaches or pears and some lemon. Serve cold with lots of crushed ice cubes.
GRAPE JUICE.
This is healthy and delicious. I chill it well and add ice cubes and a few fresh , seeded grapes in the glass.
LEMON JUICE, MINT AND APPLE JUICE.. Mix one bottle of apple juice, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and chopped mint. You can add a few chopped raisins as well, Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes that are frozen with extra mint leaves in them. Looks good..
TOMATO JUICE.
Chill the juice and add salt , pepper and a little basil. Grate two cucumbers in this with a little red onion. Chill and serve. For a soup in a cup or glass, you can blend in some Buttermilk or yogurt. Makes a cool soup. As a soup, serve with a spoon of yogurt and chopped parsley or mint.
YOGURT AND CUCUMBER.
Blend two cucumbers and three jars of yogurt. Add salt and pepper and a few drops of soya sauce. Mix well..
GREEN TEA........ A SANE AND SENSIBLE RONA CHOICE.
Take two bags of Green Tea, 5 cloves, 2 small sticks of cinnamon, a few mint leaves and slices of lemon. You can use a few geranium leaves.
Add four cups of water and a few slices of oranges and sliced kumquats. I add a little honey or Stevia.
Boil this all and let simmer for two to three minutes. Serve hot or cool it and serve with ice. It is terrific.
Look at the blog of 17th September 2008 for great Borscht, Beetroot drink. The blog of 8th August 2008 has some good COLD SOUPS..
ICED COFFEE,
Lastly the cool drink for summer is iced coffee. You can make it as calorific as you like. It is good to serve with ice cream or frothy milk. Simply use one of those gadgets that makes it all look whipped up and stylish in a tall glass with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
Have a SOBER and a cool summer.
Love and light
RONA
