Delicious Homemade Cape Velvet

Recipe = 3 litre.


Ingredients

2 tins Condensmilk

4 tins Ideal Milk

4 tsp Vanilla Essence

3 tbs Nescafe Coffee

Method


Mix the milks.

Take a bit of the milk, add the coffee and heat in the microwave till it just starts boiling.

Make sure the coffee is completely dissolved before mixing with the other milk.

Add the Vanilla and Brandy to mixture and mix.

Pour into bottles and refrigerate.

Feel free to use the coffee of your choice, but if you're using something like Frisco, add 4tbs , as Nescafe, etc is stronger.

For the brandy, use a cheap brandy like Cape Hope.

Use half the ingredients for 1.5 lt liqueur.

It's definitely better served chilled.

Home Made Vitamin Water


Cucumber Smoothie

Ingredients

60g plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp plain yogurt

2 small Persian cucumbers or 1/2 of a large English (seedless) cucumber, roughly chopped
2 tsp agave nectar or honey
Juice of 1/2 lime
3 mint leaves
Pinch of black pepper

Gilly's Spiced Tea


Vegan Strawberry Smoothie


Carrots and Orange Smoothie



Carrots are the perfect blend of nutrition and taste, and filled with Vitamin A. Doctors often recommend it to people who are suffering from night blindness, skin problems and also to those who want to lose weight.

Oranges are filled with vitamin C and it is imperative to have them as fresh as possible, as Vitamin C evaporates into the air if cooked for more than a few... minutes, or kept outside for long duration.

Ingredients:


 1 carrot, chopped into large pieces
1 orange, juiced
1 teaspoon chia seeds
½ cup ice
1/3rd cup fat-free yoghurt

Procedure:

 In a food processor or blender, put the carrot, chia seeds and yoghurt in with the ice, and blend for 1-2 minutes, or until they are thoroughly blended together. Add the orange juice, blend for 15 seconds more, and then pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Drink up immediately.
