Drinks
Ancho Chili Lemonade
Mar 10th
Katrina and I can’t quite remember how this drink came to be. We had talked about making this Chipotle Cream Sauce, and somehow leftover peas led to our leftover lemons which led to the creation of this sweet and spicy lemonade. We couldn’t find dried chipotle, so we ended up using ancho chiles. I think we really lucked out from this last minute decision at a local grocer, and created an Ancho Chili Lemonade which starts sweet and earthy, lightens up with some sour citrus notes, and then finishes with a mild heat that creeps up on the palette.
Old-Fashioned Eggnog
Jan 2nd
I am always craving a glass of cold eggnog around the holidays. The store bought stuff is delicious, but I wanted to try making my own for once. I looked through numerous recipes to get an idea of the proportions to use, and came up with this easy recipe that doesn’t require boiling a custard and can be drank right away!
Russian Friendship Tea
Dec 24th
Brrrr…. it’s very cold and icy in Chicago. Stay warm this Christmas with this spiced Russian Friendship Tea infused with cloves, cinnamon, and fruit juices. It’s an excellent blend of tastes and aromas to warm your guests the second they walk in the door.
