It's going to be a merry holiday season around these parts. My daughter and husband started bottling wine three years ago, and now the merlot and meritage are ready for drinking! Plus, they bottled peach wine, beer, and just today, they made some grappa. Bourbon is next! Me, I babysat (no actual sitting involved). 8)
Front-Ranger:
And also, I'm going to make homemade chai with black tea and spices.
Anyone know any good recipes for beverages with candied ginger? I have a lot of it.
Sason:
I love candied ginger, but I don't make beverages from it. I just eat it as it is.
Front-Ranger:
Starbucks used to make a wonderful pumpkin latter with bits of crystallized ginger in the bottom. The next year, they brought back the drink but with no ginger...that was the best part! I never order it now.
A new drink I am offering this year is made with vodka, tonic water, limes, and elderflower syrup. I got the last item at IKEA. I'm told you can make a nonalcoholic version that is just as good.
Sason:
Oh, elderflower syrup is the best!
I didn't know you could buy it at IKEA.
I've made it myself a couple of times, it takes a helluva lot of elderflowers!! ;D
It's soooo good! You can mix it with just water, or white wine, or club soda, or vodka, or make sherbet from it, or use it in cookies. I'm sure there are more ways you can use it, these are just a few.
