I just love this drink, it’s fresh, fruity and sure hits the sweet spot in a healthy way!

This Cherry Mojito recipe is one for those favorite summertime beverages of mine. It’s SUMMER and this is the time of year where me and my partner kind of live off refreshing cold fruit beverages.
We hardly ever put sugar or sweetener in our Mojitos.
That is because we use fruit and tonic water to make them.
Which sweetens it up perfectly, you can make this with or without the alcohol, totally up to you.
If the sugar from the fruit and soda is not enough for you, then feel free to add a flavored syrup of your liking or 2 tsp of sugar.
Also you can use club soda in replace of the tonic water, but it will be less sweet.
Now sit back and enjoy the tastes from Havana, Cuba, where the birthplace of the Mojito originated from.

If you’re in a hurry or just need a iced latte NOW, then you can follow this recipe for an “instant latte”
HOMEMADE ICE LATTE
Water
Ground Coffee
Flavored Coffee Creamer
Unsweetened Almond Milk
Ice Cubes
Anyone want an iced latte? Well I’m not going to the coffee shop for you. Because I won’t even for myself anymore. But I can show you how to make one in a fraction of the time at home.
Plus at this rate, I won’t even be able to make it to the coffee shop anymore. Because my car won’t start, because this darn pandemic has me penny pinching at every corner now.
And I’m not about to embarrass myself and ride a horse through the drive-thru to get one either. Do I look like like these guys to you? I think not.
I’m gonna stay right here where it’s safe. And you will too, once you learn to make your own iced lattes at home.
Now if you’re anything like me, you’re a huge coffee addict!
It’s practically a past time to sip hot cups of coffee in the mornings for most people these days. Which really is like a warm hug on those chilly winter/fall/spring mornings up here in the great white north.
However even when summer comes around, most of us are still drinking our coffees hot around here.
And during the summer we are also drinking them cold, addicts I tell ya!
And it’s getting ridiculous cause most of us are spending absurd amounts of money doing this, since our local shops are now charging around $4 dollars a cup.
So what if I told you that you don’t have to do that anymore? No seriously it should be a crime, because if you start making them at home you can use that hard earned money elsewhere. This is my favorite way to make large batches of iced lattes, which last me throughout the week.
HOW TO MAKE ICED LATTE WITH INSTANT COFFEE?
If you’re in a hurry or just need a iced latte NOW, then you can follow this recipe for an “instant latte” recipe. I will make one cup at a time and uses instant coffee mix. This recipe here will make 12 cups of coffee which = 3 liters. So follow along with me here if you want a larger batch to last throughout the week. Trust me your going to save a lot of money this way, I promise.
ICED LATTE WITH ALMOND MILK
I like to use almond milk because it’s low in fat vs regular milk, then I feel less guilty using my regular “double double” sweetener. Obviously you can use whatever sweetener suits you best, if your on a calorie restricted diet I would recommend agave nectar, just make sure you dissolve it in the coffee brew while it’s hot.
Also, please keep in mind what type of container your allowing the coffee to cool down in. If you are using a glass container to store your brew like I do.
Then please make sure you allow the coffee to cool down first in an ice bath or on the counter prior to placing it in any glass container otherwise it may break.
Once your coffee has cooled enough, place it in your jar/container and leave it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours or overnight. Then when you’re in the mood for a refreshing iced latte, simply pour over a glass of ice, and then add your favorite milk + sweetener!
I hope you start to enjoy making your own batches at home, trust me your friends/family are gonna love you for it. Anyone want an iced latte?
Note: You can pour your cooled coffee into ice cubes and use that instead of regular ice cubes. This creates a stronger latte.

In need of a cold coffee fix? Then this Best Cold Coffee Recipe is sure to hit the spot! It is like hitting your local coffee shop every morning but in your own kitchen.
This Best Cold Coffee RECIPE saves me tons of money!
Now I don’t know about you guys but I’m a huge coffee addict. And during the Summer months I will switch from my hot brews to my cold.
Every since the pandemic hit, long are the days, where I pulled up to the drive through to get my fix.
Now don’t get me wrong, I used to be one of those people in those long drive through lineups, saying… “can I order a large iced coffee please!
So what’s the difference between an iced latte from your favorite coffee shop, vs an iced coffee? Well “latte” in Italian signifies “milk.” So that is the main difference between ordering an iced coffee vs the iced lattes.
Most people prefer the iced latte, for that reason. When I have guests over I’ll prepare a BIG jug of iced coffee , then allow my guests to either have that or add milk to make it a latte. However when it’s just me, i’ll make this instant kind as its much quicker than brewing a huge pot. So if your in a hurry or just need a iced latte NOW, then you can make it like this too.

This cherry slushies recipe was inspired by one of my favorite holidays “Canada Day ” so here is to you Canada.
Happy Birthday Canada!
I like to spoil my family and friends with these Cherry Slushies whenever they come over with these during the summer time.
Summer is right around the corner and that means fresh fruit! And though I love all the four seasons we have here in Canada, I truly love Summer most of all.
And that is because the food is just that much better since it’s all fresh and mostly local!
I truly believe we all play a part in aiding in that. So the more we can by local and organic foods the better the food will be for all of us for generations to come. Don’t you agree?
HOW TO MAKE CHERRY SLUSHIE
All you will need to make these healthy and fruity slushies are some fresh or frozen cherries, frozen concentrated cranberry juice, fresh mint leaves and sprite.
Just keep in mind you that if you are using frozen cherries then you will omit the ice cubes which will save yourself time on the pitting part.
But if you can get fresh cherries, why not use them.
DO CHERRY SLUSHIES HAVE CAFFEINE
Not these slushies, however if your making it with say a soda stream and that syrup then it might.
If you have one of those soda streams you can replace the sprite with one of those beverages too.
The mint gives it that something extra special, so be sure not to skip on it.

This Strawberry Kefir Smoothie is a healthy summer drink thatcan be enjoyed as a breakfast smoothie or mid day snack.
This Strawberry Kefir Smoothie is made with just 3 simple ingredients consisting of strawberry kefir, white grape juice and frozen strawberries.
I made this while staying at my aunties place. She is vegetarian and so my typical breakfast foods where not in the fridge and so I whipped this up for us and we loved it.
I’m from Canada a more cold than warm place that requires me to purchase more scarves and toques than t-shirts and shorts.
You have to be tough to get up and go to work, school and the store when temperature reach below -35. Where in most places your fingers and toes can freeze off in minutes if not seconds, if you’re not prepared.
However this doesn’t last all year-long, thank God. So when summer rolls around, most of us are outside as much as possible, enjoying the warmth we do have.
And believeme it get just as hot as as some of the beaches down in Florida at times.
If you have been to Florida than you probably are familiar with the alcoholic “Lava Flow” also known as the Miami vice.
This drink is my creation of the Lava Flow that hails from sunny Florida. However mine is a smoothie that can be enjoyed for breakfast or just a healthy refreshing snack.
Rather than using alcohol we are using the super delicious and healthy Kefir yogurt to replicated the Lava Flow effect. Along with white wine grape juice and fresh strawberries.
This recipe makes two large glasses, so whenever you’re craving a cool refreshment or a sweet yet healthy treat. I hope you think of this simple drink!
