Let’s pretend we are embarking on a trip around the world.

First stop New Orleans Lousiana! Let’s kick things off with a Strawberry Lemonade and some Sweet and Spicy Cajun Nuts! Then we’ll jet over to Japan for some authentic Teriyaki Chicken and finally pick up some fresh vegetables in Italy!

Download all the information you’ll need for the class starting with the Agenda, including the pre-class prep list, and the recipes. It is ideal that you print those out. Pre-prep is key as we have an amazing number of items but it does depend on how much is done before hand. Plan for about 45 mins of prep.

  • Heads up there is a marinade that will need to be done a couple hours before or the night before. It’s worth it!

Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail

Ingredients

FOR THE CITRUS SYRUP BASE

  • 250g Stevia

  • 1L water

  • 15g lemon zest

  • 15g orange zest

  • 10g lime zest

TO ADD TO THE BASE

  • 1L water

  • 180g lemon juice

  • 60g lime juice

  • 160g orange juice

FOR SERVING

  • 500g strawberries

  • 10g fresh mint sprigs

  • 10g red basil

  • 10g green basil

  • 1kg Ice cubes

  • Orange, lime and lemon skin on for a few slices

Instructions

  1. Zest as much citrus as the recipe calls for and cut the rest of the citrus in half ready to juice and use as garnish. Make sure the zest is fine and you are not using any of the white pith underneath the zest. That stuff is bitter and will spoil your lemonade.

  2. Dissolve Stevia into water.

  3. Add the citrus zest to this 20% Stevia syrup and let it infuse for about an hour. This step is vital as we are extracting the flavour oils from the citrus zest.

  4. When infused strain through a sieve into a suitable container discarding the spent zest and keeping the syrup.

  5. Juice the citrus and add the juice to the above syrup.

  6. Add 1L of water.

  7. Taste for balance and adjust if needed to your own personal taste. Remember that you will add ice to the lemonade and that will dilute it too. So keep it nice and brightly flavoured and well balanced.

  8. Remove the green leaves from the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Add to the lemonade.

  9. Place in the fridge to chill well.

  10. Slice some citrus and pick a few sprigs of fresh mint and basil.

  11. Add into a jug with ice and give a stir.

  12. Serve with chilled glasses filled with more citrus slices, mint, basil, strawberries and ice.
