How to make Turkish Coffee?

July 24, 2016July 23, 2016 by cookies

COFFEE….COFFEE…COFFEE!

How to make Turkish coffee?

You will need the following:

1.Turkish Coffee Pot

2.H2O or Water

3.Coffee that has been ground to a fine powder

Optional: Sugar or whip cream

So, how to make coffee?

Measure 3 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the boiling water (pour it into a small cup until needed).

5starcookies reserve 1/2 cup boiling water

Off the heat, add 5 teaspoon of coffee to the remaining water in the coffee pot. Stir to dissolve the coffee.

Return to heat and bring to a simmer. The coffee will bubble and foam a little.

Right after the foam rises up, remove from heat.

Pour 1/2 cup reserved water back into the coffee pot.

Let the coffee rest a few extra moments, for the grounds to settle to the bottom.

Pour coffee into cups,let the coffee settle and enjoy!

What to do with ground coffee?

Use for your hands:

1.Scoop out a small amount of the mixture and rub it into your hands. Rinse well.

2. You can use for your garbage – Fill up an old pair of pantyhose with some dry coffee grounds, and hang the mixture on the inside of your trash can lid.

3. Add coffee grounds to houseplants to give them a boost, mixing it into the soil. Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen, and are great for houseplants.

4.You can use Turkish coffee for Great Grandma’s Famous Jimmy Cake Great Grandma’s Famous Jimmy Cake

5.Pour used coffee grounds down the sink or bathtub drain, followed by 3 drops of dish soap and a pot of boiling water. This will clean and clear the drain of clogs and built up grease.

Farmers Market and Strawberry Sunshine Drink

July 5, 2016July 4, 2016 by cookies

5 star cookies strawberry Drink — 5 star cookies strawberry and blueberry

It is Monday morning (my day off), the sun is shining outside and I am ready for the Strawberry Sunshine Drink.

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh strawberries (they came from the Local Farmers Market and they are full of sunshine)

1 banana (organic)

1/2 cup water

Optional for decoration: blueberries, whip cream

Just for a moment stop your life and enjoy strawberries full of sunshine…don’t you love your Local Farmers Market…

Find your blender….(it does not need to be expensive one)

Put all ingredients into blender and blend.

Fill your glass with Strawberry Sunshine Drink and enjoy…

If you are not a plain Jane and you want more fancy drink top with some whip cream and blueberries…(let’s hope you don’t count calories)

5starcookies strawberry top with blueberry

Enjoy and share with your stomach….

Please visit your local farmers market and support them.

Strawberries may be kept fresh in the refrigerator for three or more days, depending upon the initial quality of the berry. After a few days in storage,

however, the fruit looses its bright color and fresh flavor and tend to shrivel.

Did you know?

Always rinse strawberries with hulls on, so berries do not get water logged or lose any vitamin content.

How can you have an organic apple cider vinegar, weight and fun in one sentence and still say to yourself:

– Yes, I am an honest person.

But since I am a decent human being and I believe in “I can and I will” my post today is the Apple Cider Vinegar Drink – Lose Weight and Have Fun!

So, Pinocchio calm down and try to become more open-minded…Immediately!

If you still have a sour face don’t worry, you still can’t compete with our main ingredients Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.

Now, we know who is the king in this post. So, Pinocchio please go back into your made up story and let my readers believe in this magic drink.

Because, it is important to surround yourself with people you like…and a lots of water.

Now, we got the second most important ingredients…WATER.

Time for making magic happen. NOW!
