VIRGIN MOJITO

🍊 INGREDIENTS IN VIRGIN MOJITO



Lime. If you can find the small-sized ones, get them; those limes have a stronger flavor.

Fresh mint leaves. Ensure there are no black spots on the leaves and they are not withered. You will use it in making the virgin mojito and for the garnishing.

Club soda or soft drink like sprite. You can mix club soda and sprite or use one, but if you decide to use club soda only, then increase the amount of sugar.

Sugar. You will need it because we have lemon juice in the recipe. Also, you will use some of it to garnish the glass if you wish. 

Ice. Some recipes call for crushed ice, but I like to use cubes. If you used crushed ice, add half before and half after the drink reaches three-fourths of the glass.

🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

You will need a glass that can take one cup of liquid to make one serving.

Step 2

To garnish the glass, rub the rim with a wedge of lime. On a small plate, add the sugar, turn the glass upside down, and dip it in the sugar. Make sure to cover the rim properly with sugar.


Step 3

Add the mint leaves and slices of lime to the glass. Add the sugar and muddle the ingredients.




Step 4

Add the ice, enough to fill the glass, and then add half the club soda and half of the sprite, or if you wish, use the club soda but increase the amount of sugar.



Step 5

Garnish the glass with fresh mint leaves or with a lime wedge.

  What is harissa? Harissa is a spicy chili condiment native to North Africa. It’s made from dehydrated chiles that have been reconstituted and blended with olive oil, herbs, and spices. While it’s not difficult to make your own, most people choose to buy theirs. The level of heat may vary between brands, and some brands even offer two separate mild and spicy versions. Find a brand that you like and stick with it. Ingredients 1/2   c.   harissa 6   Tbsp.   fresh lemon juice 1   Tbsp.   extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill 1   1/2   tsp.   ground cumin 1   1/2   tsp.   kosher salt 1   1/2   tsp.   smoked paprika 1   tsp.   ground coriander 2   lb.   skinless, boneless chicken thighs 2   Tbsp.   fresh cilantro, roughly chopped 1   lemon, cut into wedges Directions Step  1 In a large bowl, stir harissa, lemon juice, oil, cumin, salt, paprika, and coriander.

BROWNIE RECIPE

My recipe for brownies! In order for it to turn out like (aka better than) the boxed mix, use granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Then,  adds these key ingredients: 2 eggs + water  – use a bit of water with the eggs to achieve the moist, gooey texture of boxed mix brownies without any commercial emulsifiers. And because this recipe doesn’t contain any baking powder, eggs are essential for helping the brownies puff up in the oven. Powdered sugar  – The trick to making homemade brownies that are just like ones from a box! Powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which helps thicken the batter without the chemical additives you’d find in a mix. Unsweetened cocoa powder  – i recommends using Hershey’s Special Dark Dutch-processed cocoa powder (I used Whole Foods’ 365 Cocoa Powder). Make sure to sift it if it’s lumpy! Oil  – While many recipes for brownies use unsalted butter, Mine calls for canola oil, just like the boxed mix. I use olive oil because it’s what I keep

JOLLOF RICE

  There are hundreds of different dishes in the world, but there is only a handful that has enough flavor for me to eat alone. A bowl of Jollof rice is one of those dishes. You know, the kind where you can taste the spoon or fork after you’re done with the food? I mean, you’d want to lick it clean. Jollof is deliciously addictive. Ingredients In Jollof Rice Ghana The base of this dish is fragrant rice steeped in rich ingredients  that are fairly common and easy to find. Here’s what you need: •  Aromatics:  Garlic, fresh ginger, and onions are sauteed at the start to give the rice an excellent flavor base. •  Tomatoes : I prefer using canned crushed tomatoes. They mostly cook into the rice leaving small pieces, rather than large chunks in the rice which I prefer. The tomatoes will add a bit of sweetness to balance out the heat of the chili.  Spicy chilies : The rice is traditionally on the spicy side of things. I use habanero pepper for its unique fruity flavor but feel free to adjust t
