Its Autumn here in Athens. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, if you hate the season) the weather has stayed decidedly warm here in the Med. Not summer warm, but a bit below 20 degrees C at night. And that means warm drinks for me! I love lattes. And I love coffee. But I am trying to cut…

Limoncello Spritzer
It was a hot weekend. A very, very, hot weekend. Hot days require cooling, refreshing drinks. And this spritzer is one of them. I brought back a bottle of Limoncello last year when I went on a holiday to Italy. And I still have a lot of Limoncello left, not knowing what to do with it…
Peach & Lavender Agua Fresca
It was Raya a few days ago. I spent the day talking to my big extended family over in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I also spent the time making this cool refreshing drink. It was a very hot day, but I was prepared – since a lot of the phone calls were made early in the…
Fizzy Ginger
The New Year has passed (Καλή Χρονιά everyone!), and in my recent post on Ginger Syrup, I mentioned about a fizzy ginger drink that I make with the syrup. Its refreshing, and it certainly helps if you have any leftover ‘hangover’ feeling after nights of partying. All you need is: Ginger syrup Fresh lime/lemon Sparkling…
Easy Lassi
Fruit Lassi (like the Mango one) is very tasty. But in Malaysia, what I usually go for is the Savoury Lassi. It is flavoured with cumin, and it is one of my favourites when I go and have Indian food. It goes really well when you are eating curries and biryanis. I have also tried…
Mango ‘Lassi’ Drink
Ah Mango Lassi. Such a refreshing drink, and you can make even the saddest looking mango out there (which is quite often than not) into something extremely delicious. Most (if not ALL) of the mangoes in the market here in Greece are from South America. Not to say that they are sub-par mangoes….but the mangoes…
Easy Iced Tea
This is actually a request from my friend Eleni. We were at Starbucks the other day and contemplated about iced tea and how GREAT it is on a hot summer’s day (which happens everyday from June til September here in Greece). I don’t use sugar in any of my drinks, but please add accordingly to…
"Teh Botol"-inspired Jasmine Iced Tea
This year, and especially the months of July and August has been the warmest I had ever experienced here in Greece. And nothing quenches and refreshes as much as iced tea. And the best sort of milkless iced tea that I love is Teh Botol. What is Teh Botol? Teh Botol literally means Bottled Tea…
