Upside-Down Tequila Sunrise

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:33:05 -0400

This is such a great cocktail! It's great on taste, easy to make and so pretty! This recipe only makes one drink so it might be wise to go for the pitcher-load! It's sure to be a winner at your house, or pool, or anywhere! BTW: Torani syrups are fantastic, non-alcohol and do so much to flavor your drinks, put in your coffee, in recipes, and include it in your desserts. They come in a ton of flavors, such as caramel, chocolate biscotti, white chocolate, and that's only a few. A lot of them are sugare free. Enjoy! Source: Hungry Girl -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Tessa's Homemade Vanilla

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:37:25 -0500

If your've never made your own vanilla you've got to try it. It's nothing like the store bought kind, not even good quality pure extracts (and it's way cheaper). People will wonder what happened to your baking. It goes from average to incredible as soon as you start using this vanilla. You can use more than is usually called for in a recipe because there isn't any of that bitter after taste. Just make sure that if you're using lots you cut back slightly on some of the other liquid. It also makes a good Christmas present. You can try it using any sort of hard liquor you want, I've simply listed my preference. Also, Make sure you're using Vanilla beans from Madagascar, the cheaper ones from Mexico aren't true vanilla beans are actually toxic. You can reuse the beans up to three times (just let it steep a little longer each time) and once they've been all used up you can dry them and add them to your sugar. They'll still release flavour. The cook time refers to the time it takes to steep it, I always cheat and start using it early though. -- posted by TessaDerus
