F.A.O. Realist - part 2
Realist - that lovely drink recipe is certainly doing me the world of good - virus is on it's way out.But ... having made the drink and sieved it into a container - I was left with a squidgy heap in the bottom of the sieve. It seemed far too good to waste - so I put it into another container and stuck it in the 'fridge while I had a think.
Today I had a brilliant idea - added some oats and a dollop of good Irish butter - and used it to coat a piece of smoked haddock. Wrapped it all in greaseproof paper and steamed it. Had it for dinner with baby potatoes and samphire.It was wonderful!
Just wondered - what do you do with your residue when you make the drink?

Yes - of course - it is one Realist recommended:-Lemon and Ginger drink
Remove pips from 1 lemon.
Put entire lemon skin, pith and everything in a blender. Add a decent chunk of fresh ginger, a little hot water and then blitz it all into a milky liquid.
Strain into a container and keep in the fridge (it will last many days).
Use it to make a warm drink, putting about 1cm of the milkly liquor in a mug, top up with hot water and add a teaspoon of good honey for sweetness and added anti-bacterial goodness.
Drink this morning and evening.
Your body will love you !
It is delicious - and it works !

Hi TabbyActually when I make this I use a jug blender and it has a cylindrical mesh filter that pops in the jug. I put the lemon and ginger in the cylinder and when it blends it pretty much blitzes everything to a liquid because the cylinder keeps it all where the blades are whizzing so I don't personally strain. There's a tiny bit of pulp left over but not enough to warrant saving.
All depends what kit you have really. I imagine one of those high speed nutri-bullet things would also blitz it all to liquid too.
Good idea using it with the fish though. You can't beat a bit of "finney" haddock !
Another idea would be to use it in a muffin mix to make lemon and poppy seed muffins.

Mine is also a jug blender but it does not have a filter so it is useful to have a plan for the pulp - definitely too good to just decard.
