cloudy ginger lemonade

Warm weather fronts are here. This is when we jump for joy that the beautiful sea views are less than an hour away. Our lockdown summer was marked by long walks by the coast and lazy days sat on the cool grass in our garden, and with longer, warmer days here I have started to crave this lemonade. And with the go ahead for meeting friends and families in gardens and parks, this is the perfect mocktail for a socially distanced get together. It’s sparkling, refreshing and if you have a blender it only takes 10 minutes to make! . Cloudy ginger lemonade (makes around 1.5l) 6 lemons 2 tbsp caster sugar 400ml water 750ml non alcoholic ginger beer Mint to garnish Ice . 1. Cut lemons into quarters and remove seeds. Blend it lemons, water and and sugar. Pass it through a sieve and discard the bigger lumps of zest and pith. 2. Add ginger beer and serve it over ice. Garnish with mint. . . More summer recipes:

carrot ginger creamy yoghurt smoothie

Creamy orange and carrot smoothie

This smoothie has a great contrast of zing and cream as it blends carrot, ginger and Alpro yoghurt. I have never been a great veg eater, and although no longer as fussy as I used to be as a child (brocollini is now a staple), I often “forget” to add vegetables to my food.So I have decided to drink it! I have been using my Ninja nutri bullet blender everyday during lockdown to make what I call “smoothie snacks” (a good alternative to crisps, but the jury is still out on that).My recent favourite is this creamy orange and carrot smoothie. Ingredients:200ml orange juice1 small carrot, peeled and chopped100g alpro vanilla yoghurt1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped 1. Blend it all together (I also prefer to strain it for a smoother drink)Yep, that easy to get some vitamin c! Click here to explore other smoothie recipes.
