1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup cold water
1 cup finely crushed ice
Directions
Add all these ingredients in a 48oz blender, adjust Quantities for
individual taste. Blend on Highest Speed for around 5 to 10 seconds
and pour. To achieve a closer taste to the real thing use Carbonated
Water but regular tap water will due. You can also substitute
Strawberries or pineapple for the Orange Juice or mix flavors. I have
adjusted the recipe by taking 1/4th the ingredients and use one of
the New hand held blenders to mix a single serving in a cup.
Be sure when you do this you don't fill the cup too full or you'll
have a mess.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many spices and herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
