Gin Cucumber martini ingredients

For 1 cocktail you will need:

• 2 1/2 oz (70ml) gin
• 1/3 oz (10 ml) mint martini
• 1/3 oz (10 ml) sugar syrup
• 10 leaves fresh mint
• 8 slices of cucumber
• 2 strips of cucumber
• ice cubes

Gin Cucumber martini ingredients

1. Add cucumber slices, munt leaves and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add ice cubes and gin and shake ferociously.
    
2. Poor Martini in a chilled cocktail glas, turn the glas when poring, so the Martini will drip down your glas.
3. Take a sieve and add the drink from the shaker through the sieve to your Martini.
    
4. Garnish with the cucumber strips and serve

Mint Martini recipe

Since you can’t buy Mint Martini (yet), you need to make it yourself, so that’s your excuse to buy yourself an extra bottle of Martini!

• Take a good sip and replace it with a handful of mint leaves.
• Close the bottle and put in a cool, dark place. Go shake from time to time.
• Check the taste and remove the mint leaves when the mint perfume is at your liking. (5 days should do the trick)

Use normal Martini and add some mint extract if you really want to enjoy your gin cucumber Martini in 10 minutes from now!

• too much stress
• obesity
• intestine problems due to too much red meat causing colon cancer (which most likely will give a person a secondary liver cancer)
• food filled with pesticides

We only have one earth and we only have one life, that’s why health is out most important asset.

Obese people should follow a weight loss program on the spot.

And all of us should start eating organic food. Food supplements is again an illusion when there is real organic food available.

Tonic water digestive

My lime tree is giving me "tons and tons’ of organic lime these days, so I am trying to find new recipes…

Having a good digestion in mind and on the lookout for quick dinner recipes : I thought to make myself a homemade digestive…

I took 1 lime, didn’t peel it and threw it in the smoothie blender with some water and sugar.

The result was a green drink which at best reminds me on Schweppes tonic water.

Homemade Bitter Lemon Schweppes Digestive
(the keyword is bitter…)

Schweppes biter lemon

Although that could sound like a compliment, the first time I drank Schweppes as a little kid, I wondered why anybody even would think about drinking some bitter drink like that.

40 years later I re-invented the same bitterness: and the longer you leave the drink un-chilled, the more bitter it becomes.

So if you are lazy and have a poor digestion system: start your mean with this tonic water digestive look alike.

If you want a drink to enjoy during your dinner, change lime into calamansi lime: it does make a huge difference when it comes to less bitterness.

If you ever wondered why they call it Schweppes Bitter Lemon and not Schweppes bitter lime… most likely lime is the most bitter compared to lemon or calamansi lime after you blend it completely.

Of course you need the fastest cooking spaghetti you can find, although a normal ready in 10 minutes spaghetti will do fine as well.

The secret of this spaghetti meatballs recipe lies in the use of Italian sausages (or any sausage in your butcher’s shop that you think will taste delicious in a spaghetti)

Spaghetti Meatballs Recipe

Bring water to the boil for cooking your spaghetti.

Cut 1 onion in slices and start frying in oil in a non-stick pan.

Get the sausages out of their skin and make then into meatballs. Add them to the onions in the pan.

Cut 1 or 2 long red chilies and add to the pan.

As soon as your water boils, add the spaghetti (just put them in according to the time they need to cook and the time you still have left in your 30 minutes…).

Dice 3 fresh organic tomatoes, add 3 cloves garlic, some tomato paste, a small teaspoon of rock-salt or sea-salt (the tastier, the better) and add water until you have about half a liter (1 pint). Mix in a blender and add to the pan. Bring to the boil as fast as you can. Meanwhile get yourself a piece of bread, put some mustard on 1 side and add to the pan.

Let boil on a low fire for 20 minutes and serve with your spaghetti.

Anyone having still faster spaghetti meatballs recipes : please leave a comment!

All you need for making fresh fruit smoothies is:

What to do with peaches from the shop…

This fruit smoothie recipe uses fresh peaches, and is a welcome idea to use the peaches from an abundant peach harvest if you have peach tress yourself in the garden. Yet it’s even a better idea when you just bought peaches from the shop: peaches that are a little bit sour…

When peaches are very sweet, then better eat them like they are! Or if you really want to make a smoothie with very sweet peaches: add some sourness with natural ingredients available like yogurt or sour oranges to keep your smoothie healthy.

If you do buy peaches from the shop: some peaches have little taste so don’t mix them with other fruit when making a peach smoothie to keep the peach taste in your smoothie!

Just for the fun of it I ordered myself another "typical" Greek dish, well, maybe because I love the colours when you put hem on camera: yellow French fires, green cucumber and red tomatoes, it’s quite an artistic composition.

Now I must say: the tomatoes here are extremely delicious!

Malaysian desserts or Kuih are normally very sweet! Kuih rose is kind of different as it is deep fried: most likely from the Indian cuisine.

But in the melting pot of all food in Malaysia, the origin is less important than the delicious taste!

Further on Kuih rose is quite addictive: better take out a few and put the rest away!

But best off all: you can make Kuih rose yourself and it’s quite easy. Surprise your family with this afternoon treat and a great cup of tea or coffee.

Kuih rose recipe

Kuih Rose Recipe Ingredients

• 1 grated coconut add 375ml (12 3/4 fluid ounce) water, mix, then squeeze for coconut milk
• 100g (3,5 ounce) castor sugar
• 1 egg, beaten lightly
• Oil for deep frying

Sift:

• 125g (4 3/8 ounce) rice flour
• 125g (4 3/8 ounce) plain flour

Kuih Rose Recipe Preparation

You will need a Kuih rose brass mould.

1. Combine sugar and coconut milk. Use a handheld wire whisk to mix both ingredients until sugar has dissolved.
2. Add in the egg and whisk till well blended.
3. Strain the mixture through a wire mesh sieve.
4. Stir in sifted flour and mix to form a smooth batter. If the batter is a bit thick, add a little more water until the consistency feels just right.
5. Heat oil in a wok. Put in the brass mould to heat up. The mould has to be hot enough for batter to cling on it.
6. When it becomes hot enough, remove the mould and dip into the batter. Make sure batter coats only the bottom and sides of mould.
7. Place coated mould in hot oil. Shake to release from mould. If required, use wooden chopsticks to help releasing.
8. Deep-fry the batter till it turns golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the Kuih rose from the oil, then drain and leave to cool on absorbent kitchen paper.
10. Store Kuih rose in airtight containers.
