Bagels are so super delicious. I love waking up on Saturdays and eating a bagel laden with cream cheese. I also love drinking chai on Saturdays, but that’s a topic for another time. Or we can talk about it now! My daddy makes the most fabulous chai. Every time I drive back to Michigan, I call him 10 minutes before I get home so that he’ll have chai ready. Of course the chai is never ready because he doesn’t start it until I reach home.
Anyway, I made bagels. Once I perfect a recipe (these weren’t super stellar) I’ll post it on here so you can go off and have your own bagel making adventures!
They even tasted good with cream cheese!
I also completed another item on my 24 before 24 list! I made limoncello.
I had 90% of a bottle of vodka (Smirnoff, only the highest quality for Nidhi) and 5 lemons.
I zested the lemons (but not the rind! that apparently makes it very
bitter) and soaked it in the vodka for 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks, I strained the lemon peels out of the vodka (using my chai strainer!) and the vodka was left infused with lemon. It turned out so nice and yellow!
In order to make this into a liqueur, I added approximately 1 cup of simple sugar syrup – 1/2 cup of sugar boiled with 1/2 cup of water.
Ta-dah!
Also, I’m sure you’ve heard of the “Stay in Cleveland, LeBron!” campaign going on currently, so thanks to Betty White for this.
