Golden Turmeric Chai Latte

 

As I checked the ingredients I was not completely sure that fennel seeds would not be to strong for this beverage. At the end I decided to all all the spices and some brown sugar as sweetener. After boiling and letting this soak, I sieved the mixture into two cups and …. WOW…. this was delicious! I almost forgot to say that I used soy milk for this delicious beverage and we enjoyed it very much!

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick (or quill)
1 star anise
1 teaspoon fennel seeds (crushed)
1 teaspoon bean paste (vanilla)
500 ml milk (or can use soy or almond milk, 2 cups)

+ brown sugar to taste

Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning

This is very easy to prepare and really good!
It was a long time that I finished my lemon pepper mixture and this came just to replace what I missed. For this recipe I used a mixture of black, white and red pepper as I love this combination and makes the spice mix more attractive and much better than the mixture from the shop as the smell is more “natural”.

Ingredients

• 5 large lemons (well washed and paper towel dried)
• 1/3 c (scant) of crushed pepper corns (black and/or mixed)
• 1/4 c kosher salt (amount and use optional)

Northwest Seafood Seasoning

I prepared this wonderful seasoning for yesterday’s fish fillets and the fish came out very delicious. I tossed the fish first in a mixture of oil, lemon juice and little dijon mustard, then I coated this with the mixture combined it with 1/3 cup breadcrumbs; this was good for 4 fish fillets. I had to make a substitution: celery seed by fennel seed crushed. In order to prepare the quantity I need for the dinner, I scaled down the recipe converting it to metric measures, dividing by 15 and converting it back to US measures (then rounded).

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 teaspoon dried granulated lemon peel
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
2/3 teaspoon medium-grind black pepper
