Pink Lemonade
Serves 8-10

  • 2 lemons, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 oranges, peeled and thinly sliced
  • a piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 20g Hunan green tea (loose)
  • fresh mint
  • 4 tbsps honey

Put the lemon, orange and ginger in a pan and add 750ml water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add in the tea, mint & honey and simmer for another five minutes. Remove from the heat and leave in the pan to cool completely. Once cooled, strain into a jug. The lemonade will be very concentrated, so add more water to taste. I added approximately 500ml of cold water. Very delicious!

Spring recipes that are perfect for Easter!

categories: Recipes

spring easterAfter the long, cold winter months, spring comes with warmth, color and an abundance of culinary delights. This is a wonderful time to spend leisurely mornings wandering around farmers’ markets, soaking up some inspiration along with a much needed dose of Vitamin D! It’s also the season to start planting an edible garden, no matter how small. I don’t have much space, but I do have various pots of herbs I hardly have to tend to. And, I’ve grown courgettes, tomatoes, spring onions, turnips and radishes quite successfully. If I had more of a green thumb (and space!), I would probably plant much more!
The following recipes are a great way to celebrate spring — and perfect for Easter, too.
