Afia, what carrots do you use for the juice? The orange ones from the super market don't give out anything. They are truly no match for the red juicy ones in Pakistan.
I broke my smoothie maker :( I turned it on with a spoon inside! The blades r still okay but one of the clips that holds the jug in place broke. The dumb thing doens't work with just two of them. I discivered that when I asked mum to make some milkshake yesterday and the milk flew all over the place :D Zyada daant bhi nahi pari.
:(
I always am! She just stands there anyway, it;s not like she does anything besides holding chamchas and making space on the counter. How did the bloody spoon get in there? Lemme think.
YESSS!!! I was making lemonade. And I picked out some lemon seeds with the spoon. Since I had another lemon to go I left the spoon in there to pick out the rest of the seeds. Being oversmart I squeezed the last lemon over a large holes wali seive and thought to myself, if I forget to take the spoon out it will be such a mess. I must remember. Needless to say I didn't!
I posted this in irem's iftari thread and copying and pasting for yours now :)
For drinks this year, along with Rooh Afza, we are having home made badam ka sharbat. Heres the recipe:
Badam ka Sharbat
1 cup almonds, soaked in water, peeled
3 cups sugar
2 cups water
cardamom seeds, from about 10 pods or so
Grind the almonds along with a little bit of water and cardamoms until really really fine. Strain through a piece of cloth or like me through a fine sieve. Add water, sugar and cook until there is a thick consistency syrup. This is supposed to be very very thick when done.
Cool, pour into sterilised jars/bottles and refriegerate. Enjoy a tbsp or two in your glass of milk or water at iftari.
This recipe will make approx. 8-10 ounces I imagine, so adjust quantities for as much sharbat you want. THe ratio should remain the same as above.
^^, Rukhsar, now thats something iw ould call a badaam ka milkshake :D. Sharbat-e-Badam is cooked until thick and later added to milk r water like rooh afza etc.
