    I am going to slow cook some pork neck in ginger beer today.

    Ginger beer is my secret ingredient in my butterbeer recipe. Well no, actually that's the liquor 43. I guess that's more of a secret.


    ... Wait shit.

    I like ginger, just as more of an additional flavoring than the main thing.

    I rarely drink ginger beer on its own but I've got a liter of it in my fridge in case a sudden need for a dark and stormy arises.

    so whats the proof of this ginger beer?

    is it closer to beer or spirit? I assume beer.

    My favorite sugary confection is crystallized ginger.

    Beer.

    As it's not called ginger spirit.

    There is also ginger wine.

    Which is closer to alcoholic content to, wine.

    If you put a can of ginger beer, a litre of apple cider, a cinnamon stick and a few werther's originals in a pot on a stove

    And heat it until the werther's have melted

    And then take it off and pour it into mugs and add a shot each of brandy and liquor 43

    You have a fucking awesome winter drink.

    If you add a tablespoon of butter it's technically a butterbeer recipe but personally I'm not a fan, makes it oddly greasy.

    Well in a pinch you could use creaming soda
    But personally I think it needs the kick.

    Hard cider or the other kind, tynic? Winter is kind of a myth here but I want to try that.

    Always hard cider

    To be fair, you can get ginger beer that is non-alcoholic.

    But why would you?

  • tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Oh, yeah, alcoholic cider always. Although obvs. some of the alcohol will boil offin cooking (hence the shots)

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    Dammit that sounds delicious but I don't have any of the ingredients here.

    Spotted some forbidden rice at Whole Foods the other night, so I finally got a chance to make a forbidden rice pudding from one of Sherry Yard's books. A blend of forbidden rice and jasmine rice cooked together in coconut milk and whole milk with some lightly toasted green cardamom seeds and some sugar. The forbidden rice gives everything an unusual and cool purple color, and I wish I would have taken a picture.

    It was a big hit with friends who were over, just like everything else I've made from one of Sherry Yard's recipes.

    I've actually never seen alcoholic ginger beer, despite having sampled many varieties of the non-alcoholic type. Weird.

    Usually when I do something like this. (ie mulled wine)

    I add the spices (and I suppose the candy in this case) and then the bare minimum of liquid to cover, then I boil that to bring out the flavour (or melt candy). Then I add the rest of the liquid and just bring that to a lower temperature but still warm.

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    I'm going to make that stuff.

    Gotta go booze shopping next week I guess!

    that sounds fucking amazing.

    Blake, what is the name of your magic ginger beer with apple flavors? I want to see if I can find it over here.

    Although, now that it's spring....

    Didn't know if it would be actually good or just a cheap gimmick.

    so i made my first attempt at a green smoothie!

    only it's not green.

    It's kinda scary reddish purplish brown.

    in a very scary kinda way.

    It was green! and then the blender got to the berries. And it turned purply.

    might not use the berries anymore. because the color is kind of off putting. especially when i know it's not going to taste like chocolate.

    @lonelyahava That happens! I hope it was still delish.

    It was... interesting.

    I need to work on balancing the flavors out a bit more. i think i got a bit too much spinach.

    I think tomorrow morning is going to be some spinach, basil, romaine, banana, and maybe some of my lychees. as well as some lemon! or lemon juice. Lots of different things to try and can get all kinds of canned fruits down here.

    Are beets a thing in one of these? can beets be a thing? hmmm

    I think the secret may just be to get a insulated mug and a straw.

  • ThreeCubedThreeCubed Grandma Winky's fat ankles Registered User regular
    I don't usually put the root of the beet in there because I don't like super starchy veggies in my smoothie. Instead, I blend the greens in (minus the thick stalk) and save the roots to roast up for dinner.

    Now I'm hungry!

  • lonelyahavalonelyahava Call me Ahava ~~She/Her~~ Move to New ZealandRegistered User regular
    yeah i'm getting ready to go make some foods.

    beef stir fry with the longkun noodles tonight!

    nom nom nom.

    do you get the same nutrients in the greens as you do the root? hmm

    that might be an idea.

    well, the apple cider should just be whatever decent-tasting cider you can get your hands on. Not pear, that's too sweet, and you'd probably want it fruity rather than dry but eh, that'll be a personal preference. Brandy should be something decent but doesn't have to be great (if you can get some apple brandy, man, that would probably be awesome).

    The ginger beer is more important - make sure you get something that's been properly brewed with real ginger root. Many companies just make carbonated sugar water and add ginger flavouring, which just won't be as good. Check the ingredients list, basically.
