dee: Nice idea. Please share any recipes that you would like to.
Kiwi: I think that you are on to something there. A beverage conversation is always welcome. Does anyone make any really interesting soft drinks?

Equal parts thinly sliced ginger (skin on), sugar, and water--I use 1 cup each--bring to a boil and then simmer for thirty minutes. Let cool, strain out the ginger. Use the syrup in soda, 2 oz syrup to 8 oz club soda. This makes a HOT drink, so I usually add in 2 oz peach juice concentrate to sweeten it more. Ginger and peach are a wonderful combo. You can also spread those boiled sliced of ginger onto a bed of sugar; turn them a couple times in the next 8 to 12 hours. Voila--candied ginger, and also a gently flavored sugar for baking. The thing which makes my ginger ale really interesting? It's the equivalent of a popular 12-hour anti-inflammatory. It WILL ease your aches and pains. (And by the same token, if you cannot take anti-inflammatories, you need to avoid drinking this ginger ale.) The candied ginger is not as strong but it also has anti-inflammatory properties.

So glad you came by. I love Ginger Ale and make the syrup for medicinal use but never thought to add soda water! Duh. What a great idea. The syrup also serves as a good digestive aid so anyone suffering from any digestive disorder will benefit from it. Great tips here! Thank you!

Thank you for the invite and for the welcome, Sun!
You can boost the anti-inflammatory effect of the ginger ale by adding in an ounce or two of Black Cherry Concentrate. Ginger and cherry is a good flavor combo too.

Blend the following up with a few handfuls of ice: 2 cups cubed watermelon 2 cups seltzer or club soda 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves It's good without any sweetener, but sometimes I added a simple syrup or just a few spoonfuls of sugar. |

Oh wow I love watermelon! One of my coworkers attempted to make something like this over the summer when we were melting in a 120 degree kitchen with high humidity. It seemed like no matter what we would drink it was never enough. All I wanted was crushed ice and a watermelon drink such as this. Excellent. Thank you! There are so many great soft drink options out there and yet I rarely hear anyone discussing them. So glad that we are getting this conversation started.

My ex and her mum are coming up to stay with me for a few days. If any of you have any questions about Malaysian cuisine, which is huge by the way, I'll see if mummy has the answers. My ex is Nyonya and one of my favourite Malaysian cuisines. I also have to ask my ex about a Haka (Chinese) dish we had last weekend. It was a brown rice green tea soup. Really good! I just found a link for Lei Cha Fan http://www.camemberu.com/2008/05/thu...i-cha-fan.html
We had ours at a Hakka restaurant so the presentation was a bit prettier than the picture in the link.

Yes we have that over here. However it is not always easy to find. I have been looking for a home cook to tell me how to make the broth. Friends in CA use a packaged dry broth base and I did not care for that. I have used the frozen pulp but did feel that something was missing.

You can also make watermelon popsicles just by mashing watermelon and then freezing it in molds, no sugar needed. Now I'm wondering if your watermelon soft drink would freeze well...
