(Not) Energy Drink by NHØ Bananapants

January 23rd, 2008 4:31 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Design and produce a ________ drink. The only adjective that you may not insert in the blank is "energy."

I'm feeling sick, probably from a combination of weather change (pleasant San Francisco to cold & windy Connecticut) and serious work stress.

The cure?

A Throat/Body Health Drink.

Ingredients:
One large pot (DO NOT DRINK THIS)
A bunch of water (to be enhottenated)
A few inches of sliced ginger (I keep mine frozen so it doesn't get funky)
Generous dollop of honey (or two dollops if you have a sweet tooth like me)
Some lemon juice (mine is in a bottle, fresh is always better)

Recipe:
Heat water gently on the stove.

Toss sliced ginger into water.

Pour lemon juice (or sliced lemon) into water.

Add honey to water, stirring indignantly.


Once this mixture is nice and steamy, stand over it and inhale deeply. It should feel refreshing and smell like healing.

Fill a big mug with your Drink and sip gently while watching DVDs or petting cats. Feel free to refill, reheat (I like microwaving) or even dilute if the original got too strong.

Drizzling a generous portion of honey, to smooth it out and make it nice and sweet.

Looks murky, steamy and hot. Perfect! Now time to sip it gingerly for a while.

Nice recipe, maybe add some pictures?

Vote for the use of awesome words (Funky, enhottenated) and his helpful warning Not To Drink The Pot!

Working on it. My camera is across the country with my better half, and I'm still sick, so right now this is as concrete as it gets. Perhaps I can get a friend to snap some shots of my concoction this week.

Although DO NOT DRINK THIS leant me towards giving a vote, it was "Now time to sip it gingerly for a while." that made me really smile. A pun perhaps but funny none-the-less.
