Is it possible to add spice to a drink?

I love how spices add flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.

But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.

Here's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.

There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.

You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

The possibilities are endless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?

The shiitakes are doing well. They are fine. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We tried everything. Even scissors. We keep losing them. Is there something wrong?

Well, there's a trick for that. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.

You might think that it seems too simple. It is. However, it is also very efficient.

Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.

Do it! You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
