Beverages

Orange Julius
You will need:
  • 2 cups whole Milk
  • 1 cup frozen orange juice
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 cup of sugar or honey, I am unsure how much sweet n' low to you should use but you could.
  • 6 to 7 ice cubes
Mix it up the first 4 ingredients in a blender. Once they are mixed add in the ice cubes last on the Chop option.

Hot Spiced Cranberry Tea

  • 1 envelope or 2 oz. iced tea mix, lemon flavored
  • 3 cups of cranberry juice
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • Lemon slices, for the garnish if you please
  • Whole cloves
  • Cinnamon Sticks
First start off by making the tea with water and add cranberry juice. Drop in whole cloves and cinnamon stick. Garnish the cup with a slice of lemon or drop them into the Tea. Preferred to serve hot. Should make 6 cups.

Iced Tea Canadian Style

  • 12 cups of boiling water
  • 5 tea bags ( If you can find a wild cherry flavored tea, try it over regular tea)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 large frozen lemonade
  • 1 large frozen orange juice
  • 2 bottles of Sprite or gingerale
Boil the water and add the 5 tea bags. If you want a reduce Caffeine tea, put the tea bags in a different water other than the 12 cups for a bit NOT to long and then transfer tea bags into the 12 cups of boiling water. The first tea released from tea bags is higher in caffeine. Let them steep for a while in the water and then remove bags. In a large container, add sugar, the lemonade and orange juice. Chill. Just before serving add the Sprite or gingerale.

Apple Juice

  • 4 3/4 L (5 qt.) crab apples or apples
  • 4 3/4 L (5 qt.) boiling water
  • 8 tsp. cream of tartar
Cut apples in quarters or halves. Poor the boiling water over apples. Do not stir it. Let stand for 24 hrs please. Drain the juice of the apples and bring the juice to a boil. Add the sugar to taste. Strain through cheese cloth to get out impurities. Put into glass jars and seal. Best way isto boil these containers to make sure you have a good seal. Think canning.

The Adventure ( for when the kids have gone to bed)

There is two parts to this and each should be made in their own parts then mix together.

First part: Pineapple Daiquiri

  • Ice
  • 1 oz. white rum
  • Lime juice, to taste
  • a splash of sprite
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp. crushed pineapple
Second Part: Singapore Sling
  • 1 1/2 oz gin
  • 1 oz. cherry brandy
  • 2 1/2 oz. lime juice & orange juice
  • Drop or 2 of Grenadine

Again each part should be made on their own. Once you have then mix. It makes 2 servings worth.
