  • Homemade Apple Cider Drink.

A regular during the Christmas season ๐ŸŽ„

Itโ€™s a great drink on its own, but I also use it when my kids have a cold. This is because of the ginger, lemon and honey in the drink.

I usually serve it warm when they have a cold but otherwise itโ€™s great when itโ€™s chilled ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

In this batch, I added some grapes and dates to the mix when boiling, this just added some extra flavor.

In case you donโ€™t have honey, well you can boil with dates. Just make sure you remove the seeds from the dates and wash properly.

PS:
๐ŸŽ if you will be using it for colds, give your kids about 2-3 times a day, remember to serve warm.
๐ŸŽ Please wash your fruit, ginger and cinnamon properly before boiling.

Go ahead and let me know in the comments if you will be trying it๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Remember to save and share.

Enjoy๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜‹

Letโ€™s move to the ingredients and alternatives that can be used.

Ingredients:

  • Fluffy Pancake Sandwich ๐Ÿฅช ( by @babyhealthybites )

Well, I leave this yummy combo to your kids tastebuds ๐Ÿคฃ
So yummy, fluffy and dry. The blend is heavenly.

You can make this in bulk and freeze in an airtight container.

No long story today, letโ€™s go right to the recipe.

Itโ€™s pretty straightforward, just save this for Saturdayโ€™s breakfast.๐Ÿ˜œ

Remember to share and engage with the post, we need ginger ohhh๐Ÿ˜„

Ingredients
๐Ÿฅž Flour (1cup)
๐Ÿฅž Corn meal (3 tbsp)
๐Ÿฅž Chia seeds (2 tbsp)
๐Ÿฅž 1tsp baking p
๐Ÿฅž A pinch of salt (I use raw sea salt, much better than the processed salts around)
๐Ÿฅž 1 egg
๐Ÿฅž 2 tbsp oil/melted butter/ ghee
๐Ÿฅž 1 cup of tigernut milk or any other milk will work.

Steps
1. Mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder and salt)
2. Mix in wet ingredients ( egg, oil & milk)
3. Now combine the wet with the dry ingredients. (now the secret to fluffy pancakes is not to overmix the batter. It should be lumpy, thick and allowed to rest for about 10 mins)
4. Brush your non stick pan with little oil on low heat.
5. Pour in scoops of your pancake batter, when holes start forming at the top, turn pancake over. 

Filling
1. Fry your sunny side up egg and place between 2 pancakes.
2. You can also add jam or ketchup or mayonnaise (itโ€™s up to you)

  • Try this drink for the hot weather ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ

Your kids should drink this now that it's hot. 
It's fantastic! They'd adore it. Hmmโ€ฆ I'm hoping Mummy and Daddy leave some for the kids because it's that good.๐Ÿ˜€

Sugar cane contains numerous health benefits. It's loaded with carbs, protein, vitamins (A, B-Complex, and C), and minerals. Let's use it now that it's in season. 

This drink is simple to make. All you require is 

๐Ÿ A little sugar cane. 
๐Ÿ Some freshly squeezed sweet fruit juice. 
๐Ÿ Lemon or lime juice ( this gives it that tangy flavor)
๐Ÿ A sweetener (optional depending on how sweet you want it) 
๐Ÿ Some liquid whey, which is optional but beneficial

Fruit juices you can use๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

Fresh juices from acidic fruits such as pineapple, apple, pear, oranges, and tangerines should be used. When mixed with water, the flavor is fantastic. 

Sweetener๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

To make the drink sweeter, add honey, date syrup, or natural cane sugar. 

Liquid Whey ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

This is the clear liquid that appears after straining yogurt. It's not required, but it's a nice bonus, it contains some probiotics and minerals 

Cutting the sugar cane๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

1. Cut the soft part of the sugar cane into small pieces and wash them in a solution of warm water and vinegar or salt. 
2. You can ask the Malams to cut it for you if you don't want to do it yourself. 

Let me know in the comments if you want to try it.
