Make Your Own Ginger Ale

This is how you make delicious ginger ale and spicy-hot ginger syrup in your own kitchen.

Ginger ale is currently experiencing a real boom: For a long time there were only one or two varieties in the supermarket, but many new varieties are currently appearing on the market. What they have in common, unfortunately, is that they often contain a lot of sugar.

You save money, sugar, and additives when you make your own ginger ale. All you need is a little time for this simple recipe. Your homemade ginger ale will delight you!

Make your own ginger ale

The ingredients

  • 200 grams of sugar
  • ¼ tsp dry yeast
  • 2 – 3 tbsp finely grated ginger
  • Juice and zest of 2 organic limes
  • approx. 700 ml still water
  • possibly crushed ice or ice cubes

How to make your own ginger ale

  1. Using a funnel, pour the sugar and dry yeast into a plastic water bottle (750ml).
  2. Add the grated ginger, lime juice, and zest, and fill the bottle halfway with still water.
  3. Shake the mixture well and fill it up with still water to about 5 centimeters below the brim. Close the bottle and leave for 24 hours, preferably in the sun.
  4. The next day, put the bottle in the fridge and let it cool completely.
  5. To serve, fill into glasses with crushed ice. Pour the ginger ale into the glasses through a fine sieve and serve immediately.

Make ginger syrup yourself

Ginger syrup infused with mineral water is also delicious and refreshing. The syrup is also great for giving smoothies that certain kick of spiciness. In tea or hot water, the active ingredients extracted from the ginger root help to fight colds.

Ingredients

  • about 10 cm ginger root
  • 1/2 liter of water
  • 200 grams of brown sugar

How to make your own ginger syrup

  1. Wash the ginger under hot water and cut it with the peel into thin, fine strips.
  2. Heat the water in a saucepan and add the sugar and ginger strips.
  3. Let the whole thing simmer gently for at least three-quarters of an hour.
  4. Pour the syrup through a fine sieve into clean bottles or glasses while it is still hot. Once opened, the syrup will keep in the fridge for about a week.

Make Your Own Chocolate Cake with a Liquid Core

You will enchant your guests with this dessert: lukewarm chocolate cake with a liquid core… The interplay between a crunchy coating and delicately melting chocolate is very simple; it just needs some time to let the dough rest. We show you how it works.

The chocolate cake is aptly called “Lava Chocolate Cake” in English: The lukewarm chocolate erupts like a delicious volcanic eruption as soon as you prick the soft cake with a fork. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries and you have a dessert that just makes you happy.

A small challenge arises when baking the chocolate cake with a liquid core: finding the balance between too short (then the cake looks more like a mushy chocolate accident) and too long a baking time, which allows the chocolate volcano to dry up. In our recipe, the dough is chilled for a few hours so the core stays nice and liquid.

Make your own chocolate cake with a liquid core: the ingredients

For 10 cakes you need:

  • 150 grams of dark chocolate with 70 percent cocoa content
  • 6 eggs
  • 150 grams of butter
  • 150 grams of sugar
  • 100 grams of flour
  • also 1 muffin pan and parchment paper

Make a chocolate cake with a liquid core yourself: this is how it works

Chop the chocolate into small pieces. It is best to use a large, heavy kitchen knife and a wooden cutting board. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and melt the pieces over a bain-marie. When the chocolate mass is completely smooth, add the butter in small cubes. Leave over the water bath until the chocolate and butter form a smooth, homogeneous mixture.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and whisk them with the sugar using a hand mixer. Now the flour is sifted over the mass and stirred in. Add the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until smooth. Now the chocolate dough has to rest in the fridge for at least five hours, preferably overnight.

After taking the batter out of the fridge, prepare the muffin tins by greasing them and placing a narrow strip of parchment paper in each, extending over the rim. You can use the ends of this strip to simply lift the cakes out of the molds after baking. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Since the dough hardly rises during baking, you can fill the molds almost to the brim. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for ten minutes. They’re done when the surface is no longer runny but still soft. After baking, leave the cakes in the tin for about a minute and then carefully lift them out using the parchment paper strip. Arrange on plates immediately, dust with a little icing sugar, garnish with ice cream, cream, or fruit and serve – bon appetit!

Make a chocolate cake with a liquid core yourself: variants

Peanut butter or Nutella junkie? Add a small teaspoon of your favorite sin to the muffin tin before baking. Smaller truffles also work well.

The perfect accompaniment to sauces: the tart-sweet aroma of the mango goes perfectly with the chocolate cake with a liquid core. For a quick mango sauce, puree the flesh of two ripe mangoes with 3 tablespoons of orange juice and arrange the cakes on a sauce dish. Passion fruit tastes great too!

Can it be a little sharper? Then add half a finely chopped chili pepper to the batter. The finely grated zest of an organic orange is also suitable for flavoring the cakes.

That’s why the breakfast pizza is healthy

Oatmeal provides a lot of energy, and valuable fiber and keeps you full for a long time. They also score points with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and magnesium, which e.g. boosts fat burning. The creamy yogurt provides calcium, which is good for teeth and bones. In addition, oat flakes and yogurt together form a great supplier of protein, because their combination increases the biological value.

  • 200 grams of rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed

Carve Your Own Halloween Pumpkin

Halloween is on October 31st! We give tips on how to carve creepy-beautiful pumpkin faces.

A hollowed-out pumpkin provides an eerily flickering light on the windowsill or in the house entrance in autumn. Children especially love to carve their own scary faces. With guidance, even small children can carve their own Halloween pumpkin.

How to carve a great pumpkin light

Children often find it disgusting to pick out the seeds; help them out by cutting a zigzag top into the squash and scooping out the seeds with a sturdy tablespoon or special tool.

If the pumpkin has a pronounced stem, you can integrate it into the work of art as a (witch) nose – in the evening and at night, when the shadow of the nose dances in the candlelight, this gives a creepy effect.

How to carve individual faces

If you want to carve individual faces, it is best to draw your desired motif on a firm sheet of construction paper, cut it out with a butter knife and transfer it to the pumpkin.

Nice effects can also be achieved if you move away from the classic face and towards more striking motifs such as stars, which adorn the entire pumpkin (you can even mothball the Christmas baking molds as stencils). The result is a small work of art that you can still look at after Halloween.

Tip for carving the pumpkin yourself

Special pumpkin carving kits with a small saw help hollow out the pumpkin. These can be bought here.

Why do we celebrate Halloween?

The story is almost as spooky as Halloween costumes: In Ireland, a drunkard and con artist named Jack sold his soul to the devil on the eve of All Saints’ Day. Despite all his crimes, Jack was never to go to Hell through this deal.

But when Jack died, he was not admitted to heaven either; he was homeless and wandering in the dark. The devil threw him a piece of glowing coal as a light, which Jack stuck in a hollow turnip.

Ever since Jack’s homeless soul has come to earth every year on the eve of All Saints’ Day. To protect themselves, people hollow out a gourd and put a light inside.

Make Your Own Vegan Pulled Pork Burgers from Jackfruit

The jackfruit is an insider tip for vegetarians and vegans because its pulp can be used unripe like chicken or pork! So it’s no wonder that the latest food trend takes advantage of this meaty quality. Making your own vegan pulled pork burgers from jackfruit is currently a hit with foodies! Here is the recipe for it.

That’s how healthy the “vegetable meat” is jackfruit

The unripe jackfruit, which can be up to one meter long and weigh up to ten kilograms, has a consistency that is very similar to that of chicken breast fillet, which is why they are a great meat substitute. Ripe fruits taste similar to a mixture of pineapple and banana – but the taste of the kernels is more reminiscent of chestnuts.

Jackfruit is particularly rich in nutritious starches, which explains why they play an important role in countries of origin such as Southeast Asia or Brazil as a staple food and as a substitute for rice. With 27 milligrams per 100 grams, tropical fruits contain a high proportion of calcium, which is particularly important for healthy bones and teeth.

The seeds of the jackfruit are also small power packs because they are full of vitamins from the B group, magnesium, iron, and sulfur.

The vegan pulled pork burger recipe

The ingredients:

For the fruity barbecue sauce:

  • 2 juice oranges
  • 1 pineapple (approx. 125 g pulp)
  • 2 small onions
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 200ml ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dried chili peppers

For the burger:

  • 1 can of jackfruit pieces (from the Asian store, about 560 grams)
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 burger buns
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 2 radicchio leaves
  • 1 tomato

The preparation:

  1. For the barbecue sauce, halve and squeeze the oranges. Measure out 100 milliliters of juice. Peel the pineapple and dice the flesh into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the onions.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and sauté while stirring. Drain the fat from the pan, leaving about 1/2 teaspoon.
  3. Add the pineapple, ketchup, maple syrup, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chilies to the onions in the pan. Bring everything to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about five minutes.
  4. Hang a colander over a bowl. Pour in the sauce, press through the sieve with a ladle, and leave to cool.
  5. Now for the burger, rinse the jackfruit pieces under running water and drain.
  6. Peel shallots and garlic clove. Cut the shallots into narrow strips and finely chop the garlic.
  7. Heat the oil in a pan, and add the onion and sauté over medium heat. Then add the garlic and jackfruit pieces and sauté for about six minutes.
  8. Add the barbecue sauce to the pan and continue to simmer over low heat for another 15 minutes.
  9. In the meantime, toast the burger buns, and wash and drain the two lettuce leaves. Cut the radicchio into fine strips and the tomato into fine slices.
  10. Divide the jackfruit into fine fibers, place the lettuce leaves, tomato, pulled jackfruit, and radicchio on the bun halves, and fold them together – bon appetit!

Make Your Own Acai Bowl

Acai bowls are real competition for chia pudding and porridge. No wonder: the superfood breakfast is refreshing, healthy, and prepared in no time. We explain what is behind the power breakfast and how you can easily make an acai bowl yourself.

Breakfast as a lifestyle

Previously? You just had breakfast and lunch and in the evening there were sandwiches on the table. Things are very different today: food is celebrated and staged like never before. Thanks to social networks and image platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, nutrition has become a lifestyle issue.

And that also means: Before you start enjoying, you first take a picture and share your favorite dish with the virtual world via hashtags. Whether #healthybreakfast, delicious #burger, or #coffeetogo – especially on Instagram you can find endless culinary inspiration via the diamond symbol. Acai bowls are particularly popular at the moment: These are smoothies to eat with a spoon, vegan and low carb at the same time – and you can also make your own acai bowls.

With the largely biodegradable muesli bowl from Zuperzozial, you are not only trendy in terms of color but also ecologically. The bowl is made from bamboo fibers and corn, making it reusable and durable. After the meal, you can simply put the bowl in the dishwasher and thus save the rinsing time.

Vitamins to eat

Images with the hashtag #acaibowl have been shared countless times. No wonder, because superfoods are literally on everyone’s lips at the moment – and the colorful breakfast bowls are full of healthy nutrients. The base is a puree of frozen berries and bananas, almond milk, and some sweetness in the form of agave syrup.

The fruity mass gets its strong purple color from acai powder. This is made from the berries of the same name, which, along with goji berries, chia seeds, and a few others, are among the most popular superfoods. After harvesting, the skin of the acai berries (the inside of which consists almost entirely of pips and seeds) is mashed, freeze-dried, and then ground.

There are also ready-made fruit purees made from the super berries – although they are still quite difficult to get in Germany. The powder, on the other hand, can now be found in many organic supermarkets, health food stores, or online shops. Anything that tastes good is allowed as a topping for a healthy breakfast.

The topping does it!

When making the Acai Bowl yourself, fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or mango provide additional vitamins, nuts are rich in valuable fats, and ingredients such as oatmeal, puffed amaranth, or chia seeds keep you full for a long time. Coconut chips, cocoa nibs or dried goji berries, and exotic fruits serve as healthy eye-catchers for a special taste experience. The possible variations are almost endless.

But don’t worry: Even if you eat with your eyes, arranging the toppings inaccurate vertical stripes or in a star shape in the homemade Acai Bowl is of course not a must. You can also simply add all the ingredients to the bowl and mix them with the acai cream. Because we think: social media trends or not – the main thing is still that it tastes good.

Make Your Own Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls

Sweet potatoes and cinnamon rolls don’t go together at first glance? Wrong thought! Because the autumnal vegetables make the sweet cinnamon rolls particularly juicy and fluffy. We’ll show you how to make these special sweet potato cinnamon rolls yourself.

The best cinnamon rolls!

Who doesn’t love this cinnamon-sweet treat?! But yeast dough treats in particular are not that easy to make. Sometimes the dough does not rise or is too dry. However, with the addition of mashed sweet potatoes in this cinnamon roll cake, that problem isn’t there.

For the puree, the sweet potato simply has to be boiled and then pureed. It couldn’t be easier! With good organic spelled flour, the sweet treat becomes even healthier.

Sweet potatoes are so healthy

Sweet potatoes contain a lot of beta-carotene. This can be converted into vitamin A in the body and has a cell-protecting effect and strengthens our immune system. In addition, the vegetable provides more fat-soluble vitamin E than any other low-fat vegetable. 100 grams of sweet potatoes already cover a third of the daily requirement. Vitamin E protects cells and prevents fatty acids and other fat-soluble vitamins in our bodies from aging too quickly.

There is also plenty of potassium in the sweet potatoes, which regulates the fluid balance in the body: it flushes out excess water and can lower high blood pressure.

This healthy tuber can be on the menu more often. The first thing you should do is make these deliciously fluffy sweet potato cinnamon rolls yourself!

The recipe for the sweet potato cinnamon rolls

Ingredients for 14 cinnamon rolls

For the dough:

  • 160 ml milk
  • 115g butter
  • 1 egg (L)
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 390 g spelled flour
  • 70 grams of brown sugar
  • ¼ yeast cube
  • ½ tsp salt

For the filling:

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the glaze:

  • 115 g cream cheese
  • 50 grams of brown sugar
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk

Preparation:

  1. Peel the sweet potato and let it cook. Then puree to a pulp.
  2. Bring the milk to a simmer, do not let it boil over. Remove from the heat and add the butter until melted.
  3. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and let cool slightly. Then add the egg, yeast, and sweet potato puree.
    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  4. In a food processor or with a wooden spoon, mix the dough thoroughly until elastic. Place in a buttered bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours.
  5. When the dough is ready, prepare the filling: mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Melt the butter over low heat.
  6. Grease a springform pan and dust the worktop with flour. The dough should now have doubled in size.
  7. Roll out the yeast dough into a rectangle (about 25 x 30 cm). Spread the melted butter evenly on top and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Now roll up the dough and pinch the ends together. Cut into 14 rolls and place in the springform pan, spiral side up. Cover with cling film and let rise for another 60 to 90 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the sweet potato cinnamon rolls until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Take out and let cool down a bit.
  9. For the glaze, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and salt. Gradually mix with a spoonful of milk until the desired consistency is reached. Loosen the springform and sprinkle the cinnamon roll cake with the glaze. Enjoy!
