Spice Mixes / Re: How to make dried Ginger.
« on: April 07, 2014, 10:25:20 am »
This is what I do with  left over bits of ginger. Pop it into the Thermothingy and chop Into bits. Lay it on a pizza tray and leave  it outside to sit it in the sun until crisp and dry but when it is raining I pop it into the oven at about 60 over night. I store mine is a glass jar. Still keeps it's pungency. Never waste ginger as it is too expensive.

Works either way.

Its so worth it, ginger is exspensive because it heals us :)

Worth every cent!

Thanks Snag.  I go through a lot of powdered ginger so I suppose I could just keep milling to get a fine powder suitable for cooking.

Yeah buy two ginger roots and you can make a good deal of powder and its real.

I wonder how it would work if you milled it first , it wouldn't  take so long to dry then give it another wizz at the end for powder.???

You could do that.
Try it!
I imagine as you dry it in fine particles like that the nutritional content will be depleted if you dry it to long and to hot. I can see that working.

Spice Mixes / How to make dried Ginger or preserve fresh ginger.

This is extremely easy, cooking is easy. It requires labour and if there is none required; do not eat that food.
Right OK so ginger.
Go to your local fruit and veggie store and pick up a root of ginger.
Take it home and cut it up into chips. 4 mil thick. Lay the chips out on a tray of baking paper. Put the ginger into an oven and dehydrate it at 50 degrees Celsius for about 2 to 3 hours. You know this is done when the ginger is well dry, hard.

Now the thermo mix plays its roll. Put the ginger chips into the therm and start blending at speed 10. You will hear loudsmashes and when it dies down and sounds fine. Turn thermi off and check it.

You want your ginger to be particles not chunks. You do not want powder.

Once you have achieved that consistency pour the dried, smashed Ginger into a container. I have a tea chest. It looks beautiful and smells amazing.

Now you can add say 1/2 teaspoon to your tea, with other leaves. Strained of course.
I do ginger and green tea with honey. Just lovely. Do you know the health benefits of ginger? If you do mot go read up on it. Now if you know anyone with cancer. Fill them in on the wisdom of ginger!

Cheers!

Hello I thought  iWould share this simple recipe it is probably already described here anyway.

Ingredients
2 to 4 oranges
2 to 4 apples
2 bananas
some ginger
500 grams

Well I blended the oranges and apples to a smooth paste.
Next I cut up as much ginger as I wished, half I think, A lot.

Blend the ginger in.

I added 500 grams of pure water.
Blend again.

Now this is thick! and it is very very gingery.

So I put the thick paste in a bottle, glass.

and I pour half the thick paste into a glass and add another half of purified water. 50/ 50.

Stir with a spoon woolah it is nice! and super healthy! Good stuff that tastes great and makes you well!

Enjoy!

Hi Snag, welcome to the forum and thanks for the recipe.  I may well give this a try, but it would be great if you could give us either the total volume of water or size of bottle you used to help with making this milk.  Would you recommend to use filtered water or tap water?

No worries I just updates how to do this recipe, a few minor changes to make it yummy as!

Special Diets / A perfect alternative to sugar.
« on: December 04, 2012, 01:02:21 am »
Hello! Instead of any sugars like white, nrown ,raw or even Rapadura stuff I use honey, Dates, Authentic Maple Syrup. This is not replacement, sugar was the replacement and for some reason people think sugar is the way the truth and the light??

Sugar makes us sick...

So use honey it has so much good going for it :)

No worries! I enjoy this more than cows milk now.
I no longer do speed 2 I do slowest speed now. I also cook at a lower temperature, say 90 Degrees but for a longer time.
I am also just doing oats and nothing else cause I ran out of brown rice.

I strained the oats and ate the oatmeal with pure maple syrup. Two birds with one stone :) got milk and some food!

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Rice milk recipe for TM
« on: October 13, 2012, 12:20:47 am »
Hello everyone how are you all :)
I wanted to share my rice milk recipe. I read many recipe on how to make this and have finally come a food conclusion or variation of making rice milk. First of all this is very healthy and in my eyes better than cows milk in every way.

Cows milk I buy is refined by man, this is my sole reason basically for forsaking this. In fact I have left much of he western diet behind me due to the refined nature of all the food. Anyway this is a story for another day. Today I am going to write down how I make this amazing milk.

First of all you need

a fine strainer
a glass bottle for the final product
a funnel
a thermo mix
a second bowl 2 litre capacity

Ingredients:
A bag of natural brown rice
A bag of natural rolled oats
Some kind of honey
pure authentic maple syrup
natural vanilla essence

First place 50 to 100 grams of brown rice in the TM bowl and 50 to 100 grams oats in the TM bowl also.
Fill the bottle with water and pour that in the bowl, fill the bottle 1/2 to 1/3 full of water and pour that into the Tm bowl again.
Now place the lid on the Tm bowl, lock it.

Speed 1 reverse, 70/ 80 degrees, 20/ 40 mins. I changed the temp, to hot I think wrecks this.

How much rice and oats you use is up to you, the more oats you use the creamier it will be and the more rice, the more healthy.
Once cooking has completed use a spoon to get a grain of rice and eat it. If it is soft then it is done, if the rice is hard then cook it longer.
As you cook the water will be reduce so you may need to add more water. Remember the more water the less creamy. So it is good to guess the right amount of water at the start.

Now once the rice is soft you will see the water is white. Pour the contents of the bowl into a strainer over the second larger bowl. Strain the liquid while all the rice and oats remains in the strainer. All this rice and oat you may discard for compost or eat it. If you want some pulp put some in the liquid.

Now clean the tm bowl. Pour the strained liquid from the bowl back into the tm bowl. Now I add 40 grams of honey, 20 grams of pure maple syrup and a cap of natural vanilla essence. Or just go the honey, up to you.

If you added pulp you will need to pulverise the liquid on speed 10 for 10 secs,

Now the final step, mix for 5 minutes maybe 10 on speed 2 no temp

Now use the funnel to pour the liquid into the bottle. Hoping there is enough liquid to fill the bottle to the top. No more no less.

Before you pour it in check the consistency. If you want more runny add more water, I do not do this.

Woo lah,

oh make some almond milk if you so desire for further texture.

10 grams blanched almonds
100 grams water, pulverise for 30 secs, add that to the milk too

My last tip, use 100% natural ingredients do not use any refined added ingredients. This makes a much nicer milk

thank you enjoy
