You know how it is! You want to give a present, haven't a clue what the recipient really wants, needs or might like, it has to be cheap to post. While searching you just happen to pass a little shop or a stall selling odd, unusual and inexpensive goodies. A little packet catches your eye! Ah, this'll do nicely. So, here we are, on the receiving end. It's close to Christmas. A small sealed and carefully wrapped package arrives. Behaving properly, ...
...peeping before the day, the gift is taken out of the stout brown envelope (just in case there's a letter inside) and is popped under the tree, where it looks splendid in its Christmas paper. On Christmas Day, in between stuffing and eating the turkey there's a glorious lull, the ideal time to unwrap gifts from family and friends. The little package is opened to reveal ... a strong brown envelope! OK! So it wasn't a plain brown envelope. I've still ...

No, I'm not talking about putting Lassie in a blender to drink! God Forbid I'd ever eat the nation's favourite celebrity dog or any other dog let alone drink one! No folks, lassi is a cool and refreshing Indian non-alcoholic drink which can be made to be either sweet or salty. I'm going to tell you how to make both so you can choose which one you prefer. In India lassi is the most popular drink apart from tea. Indians love their tea but tea is ...
...(especially South Indians) is lassi. There are several ways of making lassi and you can choose which way you prefer; being lazy I prefer the easier way without having to get the blender out and then having to wash all the bits up afterwards. Some of the more adventurous of you may have tried this drink in an Indian restaurant already and if you liked it, this recipe will be of use. Of course, if you've tried and hated it, stop reading now :) LASSI ...

---Introduction--- Earlier today I posted a recipe for a jelly made from Rowan berries and apple and this reminded me of another Rowan recipe which I wanted share. Contrary to what many think, Rowan berries are not at all poisonous and indeed can be used to make a variety of preserves, wines, liqueurs etc. Rowan is the red berried fruits of the Sorbus genus, and most people are famililar with these small trees which seem to grow everywhere these ...
...bright red/orange berries, and as so few people use them you can easily gather them from the wild if you don't already have a rowan tree in your garden. They are a great favourite with birds however, so don't leave off your gathering for too long. For most purposes they are best gathered when fully coloured and firm, before they go mushy. Leaving then until the first frost is also a good idea as frost gives them a milder, sweeter flavour. However, ...

So you thought summer drinking was all white and rose? Rather than a Sauvignon Blanc or a jug of Pimms, how about pulling out of the fridge a bottle of red wine? And if you thought serving a rose to your friends was avant guard, read on very carefully. What would you say to a glass or two of Burgundy - red Burgundy - well chilled to go with your summer barbecue or supper al fresco? No need to grin and bear the white stuff in hot weather just because. ...
...you can cut a dash and create a point of conversation. Here's what you need to know about summer reds. It's a case of picking fridge-friendly reds. The key is tannins - you want to chill those reds which are low on tannins. Tannins are known for giving red wines their flavour, structure and taste. And, because of their antioxidant properties, they contribute to long and graceful aging of wines. Wines that are less tannic are therefore best drunk ...

I have been reading a few op’s lately on Bailey’s and Bailey’s glide, when I r/r/c on the op’s I mentioned that I made my own, Dins was interested so I posted the recipe in his GB or so I thought, in fact it was during the week when strange things were happening at ciao, comments diapering and reappearing leading to some comments being sent twice, then on looking the other day I noticed this Baileys recipe never sent at all, where it went I have ...

I was going to name it “Heathers cream liqueur” but when I was looking to see what category to put this in to my surprise there is actually a real “Heather’s cream liqueur” on the market and one op done on it, so I guess it has to be “rosillew’s boozy liqueur” but still not sure where to put it!!! ...

...USA, who often sends me recipes that she recommends I try. A couple of weekends ago she sent me these three drinks related, but unfortunately non-alcoholic recipes. I have tried only one of them so far but will update my op, once I have tasted the rest. So here goes for the first one that I have tried. BANANA BERRY SMOOTHIE: Makes 1 serving Prep time 5 minutes and ready in 5 minutes. Ingredients: 1-cup cold milk 1 Banana 3 large fresh strawberries ...
...How To Make: You really need a blender, to give best results. Put in milk, banana, strawberries, yoghurt and honey. Turn on your blender and blend until smooth, then pour into a glass and drink. This is a very sweet tasting drink, which is also very healthy. You can of course use different flavour yoghurt; what ever takes your fancy. I enjoyed it a lot as it was delicious. So quick and easy to make, why not have a go and let me know what you think. ...

Many years ago the only place I could buy my fresh ginger was to visit the chemist. It was not the type of thing that you could buy from the corner shop. Today you can pick up ginger from any supermarket so how about making your own old fashioned live ginger beer plant. The process of feeding the plant daily fascinates both children and adults alike. Each of my twelve grandchildren has their own plant kept in granddads shed and now all the children ...
...come from the one original plant that I started so many years back that I cannot remember exactly when. You see the Ginger Beer Plant is the most social drink that I can think of. It is designed to give half to a friend which she will then cultivate and when ready will pass on half to their friends. The passing on to friends is infinite and as long as the instructions are followed and the plant is fed daily soon every house in the country could have ...

Ok so here at Ciao I have got a reputation as being a bit of a drinker, well in true fashion I have decided to share with you some of my favourite cocktails. Now these are ideal for getting you very drunk very quickly, especially the last two, which I have to say are probably my favourites. Sex On The Slope *************** The first on my list is going to be one that I haven’t had too often and in-fact have only ever had it if I make it myself. ...
...you should put in but personally I think its all down to a) how drunk you want to get and b) well I think a would probably cover it. So you will need: Southern Comfort Dark Rum Iced Tea Lemon Juice Normally I make this in a pint glass so I use roughly a shot of Southern Comfort and a shot of Dark Rum, filled almost to the top with Ice Tea and then a little bit of lemon Juice on the top. I do find that the Ice Tea is a bit much sometimes, but ...

For those of you who havent tried making your own mulled wine yet, take a look at my recipe, it was really straightforward. You will need: One bottle of red wine, doesnt have to be too expensive Half Pint of Orange Juice (I think that is 250ml!) Half Pint of Water Some Cloves ...

Stir occasionally over a low heat, but do not allow it to boil. Maintain the heat for about twenty minutes, and add the brandy. Take off the heat and allow the drink to stand for about one hour or so. When you are ready to serve it, ...
