Is it possible to add spice to a drink?

It's amazing how spices can add flavour and flavor to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?

Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.

Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.

Here is where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.

There are two methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.

Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out and store than whole spices. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.

How To

How do you make a garlic press?

A garlic presse is an indispensable tool for home chefs. It allows you to efficiently mince garlic into a paste or puree it into a smooth sauce, soup, or salad dressing. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.

It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. Here are some tips to get you started.

First, get a large container. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Set the pressure regulator valve at the maximum setting.

Next, rotate the handle clockwise until it clicks. The top portion of the press should come off, revealing a flat surface. You can slide the blade across the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.

Finally, take out the pressed garlic.

Here are some more ways to use this versatile instrument:

• Make minced garlic soups, sauces for salads, dips and seasonings.
• The press can be used to crush whole garlic cloves and make buttery spread.
• Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
• Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
• The press can be used to make pesto from garlic
• Puree garlic in a smooth vinaigrette
