I want to pass along this superb shake recipe - it's absolutely delicious and is something like a piña colada. I've become addicted and have one pretty much everyday!
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • dash of coconut extract

    Blend in blender. I usually add an ice cube and down it!! Hope you can enjoy!!

> almonds
Almond Milk

Almond milk is an ingredient common in Medieval European recipes, particularly in Lenten dishes (milk, eggs, and meat broth all being forbidden in Lent). The recipe below is a basic one. For some recipes we make a thicker almond milk with more almond relative to the amount of water; other recipes say "draw up a good milk of almonds with broth (or wine)", in which case the broth or wine is substituted for the water in making the almond milk.

To make almond milk: Take 1/4 cup (1 3/4 oz) blanched slivered almonds.
Put them in a food processor, run it briefly. Add a little water, run it longer. Continue adding water and running the processor until you have a milky liquid. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth. Put the residue back in the food processor, add a little more water, and repeat. Continue until the residue produces almost no more milk. Throw out the residue. This should give you about 1 cup of almond milk.

Ginger Tea

Hi Shannon,

I also drink fresh ginger tea.
I use a fresh piece of ginger (1/2 the size of your index finger.) Grate the ginger into two cups cold water in a small pan , bring to a boil, shut off flame and allow to steep for a few minutes.
You can let it steep as long as you like (or can tolerate) it gets very strong and stings as you drink it if steeping for too long.
I personally like it very strong, but others might not.
Add lemon and honey to taste.

Ginger tea (II)

    To make ginger tea, peel and grate about 1tsp. fresh ginger.
    Pour boiling water over it and let it steep for at least 15 min.
    Strain, squeeze a wedge of lemon into it.

    Best regards,

    Janice
