    Fresh Lime - incomparable "zing" !

    I first tried this when I bought my Kenwood Liquidiser way back in early 60's. The recipe came in the booklet. I can only say, it is a "super leemony drink".
    Select a fresh small or medium size lime. You can use
    white sugar or brown sugar or honey
    with a pinch of salt, crushed ice & chilled water.
    This must be consumed fresh. Otherwise bitterness creeps in. I used magic bullet. One can use a powerful blender or liquidiser. An Indian mixi does not work.
    First blend chilled water, salt & sugar till well blended.
    Now drop the whole lime (do not cut) with crushed ice & liquidise for 2-3 spells of 10 secs. The lime gets smashed.

    Strain & drink immediately.

    Orange Milkshake - nothing better to beat the heat!

    I used MinuteMaid orange pulp. You can use fresh orange juice or a juice carton. If the juice is thin, add a scoop of ice tream to get a thick milkshake - but, banana does the trick "subtly" !

    Pineapple Milkshake - a mini dessert!

    For this, use ice cream & not bananas to give a creamy taste. Liquidise all ingredients, first pieapple with milk & then ice cream & sugar.

    Avocado Smoothy

    Avocado is now available in Chennai. My niece who has come from Iowa for thanu's wedding taught me how to ripen & use it.
    To ripen it, I kept it in a newspaper bag along with a banana. It ripened in 2 days. I made diametrically opposite cuts along the length & on twisting the two halves came out clean. I scooped the flesh with a spoon.
    She advised me to use Condensed milk & crushed ice.

    Diet Smoothy - no milk, no curd!

    The photos are self-explanatory! :)
    Wheat germ can be replaced by flaxseed powder or bran.

    Brain Booster

    This is a recipe of Tarla Dalal, which I have slightly changed.
    I used the centrifugal juicer.
    BUT,
    if you do not have the same, grate all vegetables, add little water, liquidise & strain.
    Serve over crushed ice.
    This juice is perfect for the times when one needs to concentrate. This will help keep the mental faculties in top gear!
    carrots+beetroot+apples+ginger+coriander
    Serve over crushed ice.

    Iced Coffee - from scratch!

    Now, in market, varieties of iced coffee mix are available. But my recipe is from scratch & it came out great & unbelievably tasty & with fizz!
    You can use decoction from coffee powder using filter or instant coffee powder like Bru or Nescafe.
    Make the decotion VERY STRONG . This is because on chilling, the taste gets diluted.
    Add to it sugar syrup made thus:
    Boil together
    1 cup of sugar +
    1/2 cup water
    stirring till it boils & then boiling steadily for 5 mts.
    Add the syrup to the decoction, cool completely & freeze like ice cubes.
    These cubes must taste strong of decction as well as sugar, to prevent a diluted taste.
    For iced coffee, blend these ice cubes wiith crushed ice and serve with fizz. The strength is to individual taste.
