Cherry Mojito

Summer and its beautiful fruit bounty.  Great cherries, mangoes, watermelon, melons of all types, peaches........ all fresh

I am a great Mojito fan in summer - it combines my favourite elements of lime and mint.  Experiment with fresh fruits and Mojito and you have a winner on your hand.

Chocolate Frappe

Chilled Frappes on a hot summer day - This is a change from the normal cold coffees

You will need -  

1 shot [60 ml] of Espresso

25 ml of Chocolate syrup

120 ml milk

3 tsp sugar
ice cubes

Espresso is basically concentrated coffee. It typically is made using an espresso machine, but can be using instant coffee. Espresso can be make by using a lot of coffee and a little hot water to create a stout, strong and full-bodied espresso. 

• Boil 1 cup of filtered water. Once water comes to a boil turn off heat immediately.
• Place 3 teaspoons of instant coffee in a coffee mug.
• Add 60 ml [a teacup is 200 ml so this would be a little more than 1/2 the teacup] of the boiling water to the instant coffee.Stir until the instant coffee is completely dissolved.
• Drink the espresso or use it to make a latte or mocha [ this would be another story another day ].  

Mix the chocolate syrup, milk, sugar & espresso along with lots of ice in a blender and run till nice and chilled.

Pour and serve in a tall glass.
