Grab a Bag of Frozen Mixed Berries and enjoy a Summer Berry Spritzer anytime of the year.
This year, Not 2 but 3 herb pots are growing lovely on my kitchen window sill. They are such a bless every morning. Whilst the kettle is boiling every morning, I take those 2 minutes to water and spend time with them. Mint leaves charmingly add that Midas touch to my drinks,curries and what not. Miss S brought some seeds potted in a little plastic cup. I had no clue what to expect for the first few days.. With all the excitement, when the first leaf came up, there was an absolute joy. The peas shoots are growing and I really want to see what they reap !!!
These Herb pots are my motivation to make more drinks often in summer and garnish them well too:) When Aldi asked me to come up with something exciting for Summer, it had to be a drink again. Often we tend to make a drink with fresh ingredients. But I was keen to make a drink with something that can be made any time any day. A couple of Frozen tubs of Berries did the needful and some from the fridge.
