]]>Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water (not boiling)
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of your choice (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for an iced matcha latte)
JAPAN CRAZEInstructions:
- Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps.
- Pour the hot water into the bowl with the sifted matcha powder. Use a whisk to vigorously whisk the matcha and hot water together in a “W” or “M” motion until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy. To prepare your match the traditional way, you can also try using a bamboo whisk.
- For an iced matcha latte, skip to step 4. For a hot latte, heat the milk over medium heat in a small saucepan until it’s warm but not boiling. Alternatively, you can heat the milk in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- If you have a milk frother, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and a layer of foam forms on top. If you don’t have a frother, you can achieve a similar effect by vigorously whisking the warm milk or shaking it in a tightly closed jar.
- Pour the whisked matcha into a mug over the ice cubes if using. Add the milk over the matcha, holding back the foam with a spoon. If you’re using a sweetener, add it at this point.
- Spoon the remaining foam on top of your matcha latte.
- Stir gently and enjoy!

]]>Ingredients
- 2 parts fresh lime juice
- ½ part strawberry liqueur
- 1 part silver tequila
- Strawberries, to muddle
- Margarita salt
- Ice
Instructions
Start off by taking the strawberries that you’re going to use to muddle and putting them in a small bowl. Use a pestle (if you have one) or a small fork to lightly crush up the berries and set them aside.
Next, add the lime juice, strawberry liqueur, and silver tequila to a cocktail shaker. If you want to cool down the mixture, add a couple of ice cubes. Go ahead and shake them up until they are completely combined.
Pour the mixture into a margarita glass and add the muddled strawberries, stirring in gently with a spoon. Add salt around the rim and enjoy!

]]>The post 3 Variations of Sangria to Try This Summer appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Peach-Mango Sangria
This tropical sangria combines peach and mango. For the wine, go for a Chardonnay or Viognier and use tonic water or Sprite for the carbonated beverage. The fruit juice should be peach nectar, mango juice, or any tropical blend. For the liquor, let one cup of chopped peach and mango sit in brandy overnight or you can use peach schnapps.
Blueberry-Plum Sangria
Blueberries are the star in this sangria and you won’t need any juice for this recipe. Use Pinot Noir or Chianti wine, ginger ale or sparkling apple juice, and blueberry-plum infused liquor. Compete the drink by adding two sliced plums.
Watermelon-Raspberry Sangria
The tartness of the raspberries perfectly offsets the sweetness of the watermelon. For the wine use a dry rose, Sprite or tonic water, pink lemonade, and watermelon-raspberry infused liquor.

]]>One drink that isn’t so well-known outside of Spanish borders but is immensely popular at parties and gatherings inside of the country is a tasty mix known as kalimotxo.
Originating in the Basque Country, kalimotxo is super simple, containing two ingredients in equal proportions. Red wine and cola, such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, are combined to make a drink that is smooth, drinkable, and gives people enough of a sugar buzz to keep them going all night long.
Want to make it at home? It’s as easy as this!
Ingredients
- 1 part red wine
- 1 part cola
- Ice
That’s right! There are no fancy mixers or cocktail glasses involved here. Take one part red wine (the cheaper, the better) and one part cola. Put them into a cup (yes, plastic is fine), add ice to taste, and enjoy!
Salud!
