Eat like oppa/noona - Valentine's day special

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Or in this case, DRINK LIKE OPPA/NOONA



I’m sure by now you’ve already found 1000 recipes of heart shape cake, super cute, super sweet, super duper lovey-dovey but really, who cares? We’ll never make it to dessert anyway.
So if you’re ready to get it on with your special someone, if you’re single and ready to bingo, or if you just want to drink yourself away and yell at the world stay with me and let’s get this party started.

Disclaimer: I had no beta reader for this post, I hope it's alright

• Ustensil:

1 1.5 liter jar
1 sieve or coffee filter
1 bowl

• Booze and other stuff:

6 cm of fresh ginger
250 g of cranberries (you can also use dried cranberries but in this case don’t add any sugar)
4 cinnamon sticks
2 spoons sugar
750 ml gin
Optional: apple juice

HOW TO:
Cut the ginger into thin slices.
Put the ginger, cranberries, cinnamon and sugar in a jar.
Close and shake.
Pour the gin, close and shake again.
Let it marinate for  1 or 2 days. The longer you wait, the more intense the flavors will be.
Filter the gin, and voila.

You can add apple juice if you wish.
I was afraid it'd be too bitter because of the gin but it's actually pretty sweet




THE MORNING AFTER

• Ustensil:

1 large teapot
1 mortar and pestle

• Stuff to make the headach go away

4 slices of fresh ginger
8 slices of ginseng
2 spoons of honey
1 spoon of fenugreek seeds

HOW TO
Put the ginger and the ginseng in a teapot, add the honey and let rest for 10 minutes.
Crush the fenugreek with the pestle and add it to the teapot.
Boil water and pour it into the teapot.
Let it brew for 2 minutes.
Serve hot.

Want do you want next:

my valentine's day plans are babysitting my sister's dog while her and her boyfriend go out for dinner. i'm actually looking forward to it cause i'm gonna netflix (maybe teen wolf) and order chinese food. i'm also gonna have some of this drink, it sounds like it tastes good~

i hope y'all have nice valentine's day, whether you're alone or with someone ^o^

I'm not a fan of gin one of my worst drunken moments was caused by drinking gin. Hehe!

Anyhoo, this reminded me of one of my favorite alcoholic drinks which is the jalapeño infused vodka. That was a surprisingly good drink. :o)

that vodka sounds really nice, i'll have to try that out.

even tho i have a long time significant other, we don't have any valentine's day plans... mainly bc i hate valentine's day. plus, our anniversary is 07 feb, so there's no real point in celebrating twice. but mostly bc i hate valentine's day. so i will probably be getting drunk off of red/pink/white jello shots. lol. so romantic~

Damn, I almost bought a bottle of gin last night and now I really wish I had.

For Valentine's, I'm planning on just getting a nice bottle of moscato for myself, probably pizza, some chocolates, and just having a date with my tv and the olympics lol
