6 tbsp. Fine ground whole rich coffee beans
1 tsp. ground coriander
4 - 5 ground cardamom pods (whole green)
sugar
Whipping cream
Ice
Method
Brew the coffee as usual with the spices and let it cool. In a tall glass, dissolve 1 or 2 teaspoons of
sugar in an ounce of the coffee. Add 5 - 6 ice cubes and pour the rest of the coffee to within about an
inch of the top of the glass. Rest a spoon, backside up on top of the glass and slowly pour whipping cream
onto the spoon. This will make the cream float on top of the coffee rather than dispersing it into it right
away.

Punch is a party favourite but instead of going mad tipping every spirit you can lay your hand onto into
the bowl, why not mix a separate fruit punch for those who have to keep off alcohol.
(serves 16)
¼ Carton pineapple juice, (frozen)
¼ Carton cranberry juice (frozen)
2 cups lemonade (frozen)
2½ cups ice cold water
2 cups strawberries
1 banana
1 bottle club soda
1 bottle ginger ale
2 bottles lemonade
Method:
All frozen items are to partially thaw. Use as much lemonade or equal amounts of other soft drinks to make
the punch to your taste.
1. Using a blender or whisk, blend the juices a little at a time, pouring into a large punchbowl or other
larger container. Blend or lightly mash the banana or strawberries only until coarse blended, not pureed.
Mix the ice water in the punch bowl with other ingredients and stir.
2. Just before serving, add the soda, ginger ale and enough lemonade to suit your taste. Stir gently to mix
all juices from the sediment on the bottom of the bowl. Serve as it is or over ice.
Note: You may wish to make an ice ring to float in the punch for a decorative touch. Using a ring
mould, freeze a shallow layer of water and put fruits and mint leaves in a pattern over the ice. Pour a
thin layer of water over and re-freeze.
Repeat these steps until you have built up the ice ring and made several layers of fruit designs. Free the
ring from the mould and place in bowl just before serving. Use juice instead of water for the ice ring if
you wish.

Wash carrots thoroughly; cut into strips; feed into juicer.
Apart from being a popular drink, carrot juice is an excellent source of vitamin A and an excellent
appetizer. It can be mixed with practically all other fruit and vegetable juices to add color and flavour.
It is ideal children (and adults too who just do not eat vegetables. Approximately 4 large carrots are
needed for each cup of juice.
Wash celery sticks thoroughly. Feed outside greener stalks into juicer. Here is another drink that is
popular alone and is a wonderful combination with other juices. It adds good flavour to tomato juice or
green pepper juice. Approximately 4 large stalks per cup of juice.
You may peel or not according to your own taste (most prefer juice from peeled cucumbers). Feed into juice
extractor in strips. Served chilled or over ice. Add to salads. Approximately 1 cup juice to 1 large
cucumber.
Wash, cut into strips and remove seeds and center for feeding juicer. 4 peppers make 2 ample servings. You
may prefer to combine with carrot juice. Celery and cucumber mix especially well too.
This excellent vegetable should be washed thoroughly. Use the leaves and stalks, but fold and round first
for best results when feeding into juice extractor. Most people prefer their spinach juice combined with
another flavour. Try a flavour like pineapple mixed with the spinach or other vegetables like carrots,
celery or cucumber.
Whether you think of tomatoes as a vegetable or a fruit, the whole family will really love fresh squeezed
tomato juice. Use only plump ripe tomatoes in season. Serve as an appetizer or mid afternoon pick-up.
Season with lemon or add some parsley juice. So many ways to use this all time favourite alone or in
combination with other juices.
Peel and cut into thin strips and feed into juicer. An excellent drink by itself; also combines well with
other fruits.
