London Kool-Aid

Summer is when London is at it’s best. Skimpy and slinky it oozes pheromones for the tastebuds. And right now we’re having the hottest weekend of the year. To chill out we need some Kool-Aid.

Blend the following with well chilled water:

Rasperries
Lemon juice
Mint leaves

Finish by straining into a glass of ice.

A nice variation is to swop the rasperries with pear and a bit of fresh ginger.

Fresh Pomegranite and Apple Juice

I’ve spotted some really good pomegranites recently – so I juiced two of them with an apple. Seriously good. I don’t use a juicer though, I prefer to blend to a pulp and then squeeze through a fine clothe, kind of like muslin thats used for making jam.
