HONEY, LEMON AND GINGER PRESERVE
Cut enough lemons to fit as many bottles as you want into thin slices.
Peel and slice the ginger. Also to your taste. I love a lot so I use quite a bit.
Layer the lemon and ginger slices in a glass jar. Don’t pack it tight.
Fill with honey, making sure to remove all the bubbles.
Close and put in fridge for about a week. (It’s ok if you can’t wait that long. I don’t always)
Place a slice of lemon and ginger in a cup with 1½ – 2 tablespoons of the honey and fill with boiling water. You can add more if so desired.

CHANTE SE MOJITO
CHANTE SE MOJITO
Net ‘n wenk. Die heerlike vars smaak van ‘n mojito kom van vars lemmetjies en kruisementblare af. Jy sny die lemmetjies in blokkies en kneus dit dan saam met die kruisement blare en suiker voordat jy jou wit rum bygooi. Hier is my resep.
(Maak 1 mojito)
25-50 ml wit rum (Bakardi is my gunsteling)
1 lemmetjie, in blokkies gesny
4-6 groot kruisement blare
1 teelepel suiker
ys
200 ml lemonade
