The SenseXXXational Brewmaster :-) !!

Hey readers, the trouble with my net connection continues! Spent over a hour in the reliance outlet on saturday trying to get the trouble rectified but to no avail yet. They may replace my modem with a new one if the problem does not get resolved in the coming week or so! 'Til then, I got to live with that slow connection - sigh!


Had a productive session on Saturday despite the frustrating time spent in Reliance. Went to Victoria Memorial and got a few photos of the surrounding area! Hope to do a feature on Victoria Memorial in the near future - once the speed of my net connection improves. Am currently looking for a few topics to write upon - I would be very glad to take up a topic of your choice! So please feel free to ping me on Gmail or leave a comment here if you have an interesting topic to share with me!


Oh and by the way, I have mastered the technique of making the perfect Barista Frappe - Yes people, I'm well and truly on my way to becoming a brewmaster too! I forgot to take a pic though - so am sharing one of those pics which I found on the net! And here is my secret recipe - the serving is adequate for 3+ people:

4 spoons coffee powder (I used Nescafe)
4 spoons sugar
1 glass milk (250 ml)
375 ml water
6 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream (Use Kwality Wall's Vanilla Pack for the best effect)
Heinz Chocolate Sauce (optional)
And oh, several ice cubes!

Firstly, we need to brew the coffee - for this pour the water into a vessel and add the sugar & coffee to it. Now stir them well and let them simmer/boil for 15-20 minutes. After that, add several ice cubes to the mix (10+) to rapidly cool the hot black coffee. After the temperature has gone down, pour the black coffee into a mixer and add milk & ice cream to it! Mix them well and lo and behold, you are all set and ready to enjoy a lovely glass of Frappe! The chocolate sauce is basically used as a dressing - I'll actually need to shoot a video for this and then share it with you!

N.B.: Some of you may need more sugar - I advise you to add sugar according to your taste.
