[slicing up fresh calamansi for cranberry-ginger calamondinade]

I've never heard of that before but now I want it so bad.

> PINK RANGER: mix to taste:
- hot tea (I like using red herbal teas, like Celestial Seasonings' Red Zinger)
- ginger salabat punch powder
- cranberry juice (not punch)
- lemon, lime, calamansi, or similar juice
- brown sugar until it's not too strong for your guests
chill and add carbonated water just before serving

(I rarely include the brown sugar unless I've got white guests I've never served before.)

[saves recipe immediately]

Yeah the brown sugar seems a bit strange there honestly. Never used it in a drink before.

@BESW XD

If you don't have ginger salabat powder (it's Filipino spicy-sweet ginger tea), you can replace it and the fizzy water with ginger beer, or put ginger (fresh or candied) in the boiling water along with the tea bag.

The brown sugar makes it more like a traditional sweet lemonade, but with more body.

@BESW putting candied ginger in boiling water sounds amazing honestly. I've made plenty of candied giner and I've never thought to do that and now I feel silly.

I pretty much never use white sugar for anything. Brown sugar or honey.

I actually really want to try brown sugar in this/a drink now.

But me and most of my friends, we like our drinks to be tart/sour enough to punch back.

+1000 to that. I have a friend who like sweet drinks and I struggle super hard to make them nearly sweet enough

@Rubiksmoose I use it in coffee, tea, lemonade, whatever.

I love me my citrus.

Cold brewed coffee steeped with cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and cloves, with brown sugar and almond milk.

Oh, you can also make the pink ranger with black tea, or a mix of black and red tea. The recipe's more of a guideline, really. Mess around with whatever you've got in the kitchen!

If there's one thing I've learned from my wife, it is that every recipe is a mere suggestion.

I learned that from my family, and from Edward Espe Brown.

Ugh... I've spent much of my chat-time over the lat few days in some of the less-Nkce parts of the chatosphere. It's nice to be back.

So I shouldn't start swearing and maligning people then?

Maybe a heaping helping of squabbling?

Feel free. You'll be addressed firmly and kindly, then booted if it doesn't shape up, and I won't even have to lift a finger. Because this place is Nice 😊

@Shalvenay thanks =)

@Rubiksmoose No, this place is Nice.

@Yuuki BLASPHEMER!

So what's been going on here? How's the eagle doing?

Not much here besides the normal. The eagles are blocked at work so I wouldn't know [angry face]
