Peach and Ginger Agua Fresca


 This is from Paltrow and Turshen's It's All Good, and in a nut shell, it's peach juice. 

 Tip:

Drink the day of making. It doesn't taste very good after that.
This is one song I know all the words to: "Build Me Up Buttercup" The Foundations.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 1/2 pounds white peaches (about 8 peaches), pits discarded, roughly chopped
  • A 2 inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced 

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a large pot set over high heat. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, and cover the pot. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Puree in a powerful blender in batches and pass the puree through a fine-mesh strainer or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. Discard the contents of the strainer and serve the agua fresca immediately over ice.

Elvis Presley

Chocolatey peanut butter goodness. I found this while looking for smoothies on a baking site.

Yeah, I suppose this isn't really a health drink, but I can pretend, right?


 "Devil in Disguise" by Elvis Presley from Lilo and Stitch
(aka the film that makes me like Elvis Presley music)

The actual song

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium banana
  • 2 tbsp. creamy peanut butter (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp oats
  • as much chocolate milk as needed to cover banana and peanut butter 

Directions:

Put peeled banana, peanut butter, oats, and chocolate milk in blender. Blend until smooth.
