LOW-FAT TIRAMISU AND HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE
























My guilty pleasure that I can't resist is tiramisu and it always tastes way much better homemade because you can modify the ingredients to your taste so I thought I would share my recipe for the delicious coffee dessert as well as my favourite way to make hot chocolate. Keep in mind these recipes serve 6 so it's perfect if you're having company over but definitely adjust the ingredients if it's just for yourself.

Pink lemonade is a beverage that looks so beautiful and is perfect for any girly parties or to serve when you have your girls over. I always wanted to make pink lemonade and only recently found out how easy it was so thought I would share my favourite recipe with you! I tried a few different ways and found this recipe creates the best taste and colour!

Serves: 2.8 litres

Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
2 cups cranberry juice

Method:
Step #1-Bring granulated sugar and 1 cup of water to boil in a medium pan over high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Step #2- Add lemon juice, superfine sugar, cranberry juice and 1 1/2 quarts water to serving container. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step #3- To serve, add ice cubes to fill a tall glass and garnish with lemon slices.

CHOCOLATE CHAI RECIPE























My current obsession is chai; whether that be a chai latte, chocolate chai, chai tea etc...I have been loving it all! If you don't know what chai is, basically it's tea made by boiling tea lies with milk, sugar and sometimes spices. I came across this chocolate chai recipe and, being the chai addict I am, HAD to try it out

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
3 teaspoons loose-leaf black tea
8 cardamom pods
2 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
4 teaspoons sugar/sweeter
1/2 cup milk

Method:
Step #1- Combine tea, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, cocoa powder, sugar/sweetner and 1 1/2 cups of cold water in a saucepan.
Step #2- Bring to the boil over medium-high hear until bubbling. Then reduce to a medium-low heat and let simmer, stirring for 5 minutes until aromatic.
Step #3- Add milk. Leave to simmer and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until hot. Strain into 2 heatproof glasses or cups and serve.

Tips:
* If you don't have or can't find some of the spices, you can always just used a pre-made spiced chai tea mix. I get mine from Coles and it has 2 variations; spiced or vanilla.
* You could also get syrups which they sell at Woolworths.

I absolutely love this recipe, the end result is absolutely delicious and you save heaps of money 
by making it yourself!
