It's cheap, healthy and perfect for those who love sweet and tangy taste.<br /><br />Ingredients: 2 servings<br />6 ounces of raw seedless tamarind (you can find it at any Asian store)<br />6 tbsp of sugar or more depending on your taste<br />4 ounces of toasted peanut<br />water and ice<br /><br />Directions:<br />In a pan, add tamarind, sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, keep stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture looks like caramel. Cool off<br />In each glass, pour in about half of the mixture.Add ice and stir well. Sprinkle peanut on top.<br />My ratio for tamarind mixture and ice is 1:2<br />Enjoy!<br />Thanh<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6616242090167465729-2069742071984947684?l=vietnameseinamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thanhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11101472985192333011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616242090167465729.post-54421733318497534852012-01-18T19:03:00.001-08:002012-01-18T19:03:54.306-08:00Avocado shake<br />2 servings<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />1 ripe avocado<br />1 cup of milk. You can also use soy milk or coconut or almond milk if lacto intolerance. I use coconut cream. Savoy coconut cream brand is the best.<br />3/4 cup of ice cubes<br />5 tbsp of sugar<br /><br /><br />Put avocado, milk, ice and sugar in a blender. Blend them until smooth.<br /><br />Note: If you are a durian eater, you can add 1 tablespoon of durian in the mixture. It's a perfect combination. My husband runs away when he smells durians the first time but now he loves them.<br /><br />Enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6616242090167465729-5442173331849753485?l=vietnameseinamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thanhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11101472985192333011noreply@blogger.com0
