Food and Drink Shortcuts/I Didn't Know That

[Red and Proud]

Mods, you can change the threat title if someone comes up with something more punchier.

Right, here goes, you'll pick this up as you go along and maybe add to it.

1ltr lemonade, diet or standard full fat (may work with cloudy but either way you'll have to engage in a little alchemy because. cap sizes vary as does the "secret" ingredient). 2 caps balsamic vinegar. This I tell you tastes like an alcohol free, wait for it......................Pimms!

So does anyone have any "secret" Recipies for food or drink that side step the norms of thinking?
