Simply Guide for Beverages

I found out a lot of helpful hints that we read will simple our life.. Here are simply guide, that I will share to you all. Read them at your relax time with your favourite tea or coffee, and you will easy remember all the helpful hints that I shared.. :) Have a good day everyone..



* You won't need sugar with your tea if you drink jasmine tea or any of the lighter-bodied varieties, like Formosa Oolong, which have their own natural sweetness. They are fine for sugarless iced tea, too.

* For tea flavoring, dissolve old-fashioned lemon drops or hard mint candy in your tea. They melt quickly and keep the tea brisk! - it's add a little satisfaction in your drink.. :)

* I like to use honey in my tea to substitute sugar.
* Make your own spiced tea or cider. Place orange peels, whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks in a 6 - inch square piece of cheesecloth. Gather the corner and tie with string. Steep in hot cider or tea for 10 minutes or longer if you want a stronger flavor.

* The best hot water to use in your tea, is the one that starting to bubble.. - not the boiled water, especially for Chinese Tea.

* Always chill juices or sodas before adding to beverage recipes.

* To cool your punch, float an ice ring made from the punch rather than using ice cubes. Not only is this more decorative, but it also inhibits melting and diluting.

* Place fresh or dried mint in the bottom of a cup of hot chocolate for a cool and refreshing taste.

* Never boil coffee; it brings out the acid and causes a bitter taste. Store ground coffee in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it fresh.

* Always use cold water for electric drip coffee makers. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons ground coffee for each cup of water.

* Calorie-free club soda adds sparkle to iced fruit juices, makes them go further and reduces calories per portion.

*Most diets call for 8 ounces of milk and 4 ounces of fruit juice (USA measurement). Having the exact size glass ensures the correct serving amount.

 

*One Lemon yields about 1/4 cup juices; one Orange yields about 1/3 cup juice. This is helpful in making fresh Orange Juice or Lemonade.

*Always see the expiration of your fesh milk before you use them into your tea or coffee.

* Store a left over of fresh fruits in the freezer and you can use them for fresh fruit juice on the next day.

* Always try to make your own home made fruit juice than buy them in a box. The box contains more sugar than the fresh one.
