Strawberry Rice Milk Smoothie

Not all food on my blog has to be unhealthy, I have a favourite Strawberry smoothie recipe. 

It it light on the dairy side, but if you are lactose intolerant you can leave the yoghurt out and top it up with some more rice milk or chia seeds.  

Ingredients:

- 1 tsp chia Seeds

- 3 tbsp yoghurt

- 1 punnet strawberries

- 1 tsp honey

- 1 cup rice milk

Blend all together and enjoy xoxo

Turkish Delight Hot Chocolate

I have a deep love for the flavour of turkish delight.

Good turkish delight is amazing to cook with and of course we all know it goes well with chocolate, so why not drink it?

So here is my recipe for a beautiful turkish delight hot chocolate

Serves 2

Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon of the softest best Turkish delight you can get ( I prefer the kind you can get from traditional lolly shops at the markets) 
- 4 Teaspoons of Rosewater ( not essence)
- 1 teaspoon raw sugar
- 2 Tablespoons the best coco powder you can get
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 1/2 Cup of milk

Method:

Place all ingredients in a saucepan on a medium heat and stir until all dissolved, do not let boil.
You can add any little chunks of turkish delight left over that didn't get time to melt into each glass if you like.


Enjoy xoxo 

Chocolate Rum Delight

Chocolate Rum Delight:

This little number is a wonderful cheeky drink, it looks part dessert and is best sipped slowly and definitely partly eaten with spoon!

Its rummy chocolatey flavours are perfectly delicious on a friday night after a hard day's work, or on a Sunday evening with the knowledge that a full busy week is ahead of you.

This recipe is for one serving in a glass.

Utensils:

- Grater

- measuring jug for liquid

- Beautiful Tall Cocktail glass - preferably a Cuvee glass 

- Dessert Spoon

Ingredients:

- Rum

- Baileys

- Dark Drinking Chocolate powder

- Grated milk chocolate ( you don't need more than a square or two per person, but put as much as desired)

- 1 cup milk ( 250mls)

- 1 large scoop plain ice-cream

- Whipped Cream

Method: 

1. Rinse out your cocktail glass and make sure it is clean, as most cocktail glasses sit around for a while and don't get used as often as your other dishes and glasses, they accumulate dust so easily.

2. Pour a lid full of rum into cocktail glass ( use the lid of the rum bottle to measure this) .

3. Pour 40mls Baileys of Bailey into cocktail glass.

4. Pour half your milk (125mls) into the cocktail glass.

5. Put 1.5  Tablespoon Dark Drinking chocolate powder into reamaining 125mls of milk. Stir until combined and there is no more powder left floating on the top. Then pour into cocktail glass.

6. Stir glass 5 times with spoon.

7. Put a large scoop of plain ice-cream into glass

8. Pour another 15mls of Baileys on top. 

9. Put whipped cream on top until it rises above the rim oc the cocktail glass.

10. Dust with extra drinking chocolate and chocolate shavings. 

Enjoy with family, friends, or some much needed quiet time with yourself!
