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
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the nobility of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
