How could I not put in a recipe for a tropical drink at the back of this book? Vasiht'h must have had dozens! Here then is a refreshing slushie for you to enjoy while reading (or since you've already made it to the back of the book, re-reading) Dreamstorm.
Mango Pineapple Fruity Drink
From the Jaguar Kitchen
1/3 cup frozen mango chunks
1/3 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 small piece, fresh ginger
mango juice or lemonade
crushed ice
You will need a blender for this slushie! Throw the mango and pineapple chunks together in the blender cup, and a small (and I do mean small) knob of fresh ginger, peeled. If your tolerance for ginger is high, you can experiment, but fresh ginger is potent! Respect the ginger!
Once you've thrown in the solid ingredients, fill the blender cup to the fill line with either 1. mango juice; 2. lemonade; or 3. watered down versions of either if you want it less sweet.
Blend until smooth; sample to make sure all of it tastes good to you. Then either add ice and blend again if you want more of a smoothie feel, or crush the ice separately and shake them together for something a little more like a slushie.
If you are feeling virtuous, you could probably throw some kale or spinach in this, but honestly there is nothing healthy about this drink, it's solid sugar. Have your salad on the side and go for broke! You can also mess with the proportions; I love mango, so I tend to go mango-happy, but you might prefer the bite of the pineapple and want more of that. These days I don't measure it at all, I just eyeball it.
However you make it, I hope you enjoy!
