how to cook Lemon-Peach Iced Tea
how to cook Lemon-Peach Iced Tea
Serves: 10
Time: 55 minutes (20
minutes boil time, 5 minutes brew time, 30 minutes chill time)
I’m
a big fan of anything with peaches in it, so this iced tea recipe is a real
winner in my mind. It’s a great option for a family picnic where there are lots
of thirsty people. You’ll notice you’ll be using green tea, and not black.
Green tea is actually much better for iced teas because the fresher flavors
hold up. It also has less caffeine than black tea. You brew the bags in water
with lemons and peaches, and then chill until ice-cold. Sweeten
with liquid stevia to taste.
Ingredients:
20 cups water
10 green tea bags
6 sliced peaches
10 lemon slices
10 drops liquid stevia
Directions:
1.Pour
water into a big stockpot and bring to a boil.
2.Temperature
should be around 170-degrees or lower before you
begin brewing green tea.
3.Add tea bags, lemons, and peaches to pot.
4.Let this brew for no more than 5 minutes.
5.Get ice ready in a big punch bowl.
6.After tea is brewed, pour tea and fruit into the
punch bowl with ice.
7.Stir
and stick it in the fridge to help speed up the cooling process.
8.When
cold, taste, and add stevia as needed.
9.Serve!

how to cook Almond-Milk Mocha
how to cook Almond-Milk Mocha
Serves: 1
Time: About 5 minutes
On cold days,
you gotta have your coffee. Heck, even on hot days. For a mocha fix, try mixing
brewed coffee with unsweetened almond milk. For sweetness, a mixture of liquid
stevia and erythritol is just about perfect. Mixing sweeteners can cut down on
any weird aftertastes.
Cooking
Note: To turn your drink into a coconut mocha, add ⅛ teaspoon pure coconut
extract.
Ingredients:
⅔cup
unsweetened chocolate almond milk ½ cup brewed coffee
7 drops liquid stevia
1 teaspoon erythritol
Directions:
1.Mix all
your ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium.
2.Stir to
integrate everything together.
3.When
it’s as warm as you want it, serve in a mug.

how to cook Easy Green Smoothie
how to cook Easy Green Smoothie
Serves: 2
Time: 7 minutes (5
minutes prep time, 2 minutes blend time)
Green
smoothies are everything now, and most of them aren’t that healthy because
there’s way too much fruit. In this recipe, there’s only one fruit - pineapple
- and you only use ¼ cup of it. The rest of the sweetness comes from ⅓
tablespoon of liquid stevia. The bulk of the smoothie is cucumber, lettuce,
parsley, and ginger. You can shake it up if you want and use spinach or other
dark leafy greens. Just remember it will have a stronger “green” taste.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
⅓cup
unsweetened almond milk
⅓cup
romaine lettuce
⅓cup
peeled, sliced cucumber ¼ cup chopped pineapple
⅔
tablespoon parsley
⅓tablespoon minced fresh ginger
⅓tablespoon liquid stevia
Directions:
1.Prep
and chop your veggies.
2.Pulse
everything in a blender until smooth.
3.Serve!

Serves: 4
Time:
Is
there a more delicious combination than cheese and zucchini? I’m not sure if
there is. This easy side dish is just zucchini, cheddar and mozzarella, olive
oil, salt, and pepper. It’s a great way to use up zucchini, which explodes when
it’s in season, or shredded zucchini that you’ve frozen.
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized zucchinis
½tablespoon
duck fat Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1.Cut the ends off your zucchini and shred
with a cheese grater or other tool you use for shredding veggies.
2.Wrap shreds in paper
towel and squeeze really hard to get out as much liquid as possible.
3.Pour fat in a skillet and heat.
4.Add zucchini and cook for 5-10 minutes,
until it begins to brown.
5.Add cheese and stir.
6.When melted, season to taste!
