Siniusu's Wonderful Thoughts
When you take a photo of an ice drink and upload it to your circle of friends, high-purity ice cubes may improve the overall sense of advancedness. When you learn how to make syrup, you can achieve freezing cold drinks throughout the summer. This chapter will take you to get several practical skills.
The visual effect of transparent ice is not only very obvious. It is not only beautiful, but also melts more slowly. It is also very simple to make it with related molds or machines, but the price is a bit expensive (ranging from one hundred to a thousand yuan), and this chapter introduces low-cost ice making methods.
Before making, you need to prepare an outdoor insulated box (30-60 yuan) and remove the lid. Pay attention to the size before purchasing to ensure that it can be placed in the refrigerator freezer layer, and convince your mother (it will occupy one layer of the refrigerator). If the refrigerator is too small, prepare a freshener box and wrap it with foam boards around and at the bottom (the effect is not as good as the insulated box), neither seals.
One-way ice making method
Principle
Ordinary containers (such as ice grid ) diffuse from the surroundings of the container in the refrigerator. The water in the container starts to freeze from the edges and finally goes to the middle. The impurities and bubbles in the water are concentrated in the middle, thus forming translucent ice cubes. Since there is an insulation layer at the bottom of the insulation box, the air conditioner can only enter from above, and the water freezes from the top and down, and impurities and bubbles are forced to the bottom, so you can get the transparent ice cubes in the upper layer
Specific steps:
Inject water in the box, and it is enough to be 80% full (you can use cool hot water for sufficient time, the oxygen content in the hot water, and there are fewer small bubbles remaining in the ice cubes), put it in the frozen layer for about 24-48 hours, and it is necessary to continuously test and find the most suitable time depending on the refrigerator condition. When the time is up to take it out and put it in the room, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and wait for the ice to slide out of the box. Take out the ice cubes and place them on a flat table, knock off the ice-water mixture in the lower layer, and keep the transparent ice on the upper layer. If the ice is frozen for a long time and completely freezes, you can cut off the ice containing bubbles and impurities in the lower layer.
Cut ice:
The ice cubes are flat with the tabletop. If you are not flat, you can put a towel on it. Use a serrated knife to saw out about 5mm saw marks. Then change to an ordinary knife. Use a wooden hammer or rubber hammer to slowly hit the back of the knife to get ice cubes with a flat cut surface. Put the excess ice cubes in a sealed bag and freeze.
Ice-like water can account for 30 to 40% of a cocktail's volume, so the quality of ice is very important for cocktails.
syrup is made of
Syrup is divided into single syrup (simple syrup) and flavored syrup. The syrup ratio is 1:1. Add 100g sugar (sweet cube, cotton sugar can also be) to 100ml of hot water and stir continuously until melted, that is, it is finished. Syrup can be stored in refrigerated for one month. If there is no special mark in the cocktail recipe, it is 1:1 syrup. A single syrup can also be used to make lemonade, lemon black tea , etc.
Flavor syrup, Flavor syrup is a syrup containing special flavors, (fruit syrup, mint syrup, cecumin syrup, etc.), some cocktails require flavor syrup such as penicillin, yenafer, etc.
There are two ways to make flavored syrup: one is to use a water configuration containing its flavor, such as cigar syrup, boil the cloves in water and filter, add equal proportions of sugar to the cloves until they are completely melted. Mint syrup is to grind 10g mint leaves with a pounding rod and add 100ml of water and let stand for 2-3 hours, then add equal proportion of sugar until it melts completely. This method is suitable for spice syrup
. The second is to chop the fruit and add water and equal proportion of sugar and half a lemon juice (to enhance the flavor and prevent anti-sanding) to boil and melt it completely. You can also crush the fruit, sugar and equal proportion of water juicer and filter it. This method is suitable for fruity syrup. In addition to mixing peach syrup, peach oolong can be made by mixing peach syrup, pineapple syrup can be made by ice powder , etc.
The flavor of fruity syrup is not fully highlighted. If you have the conditions, you can buy syrup with relevant flavors (such as MONIN Molin)
Lime juice
Lime juice
Lime juice is required to make Thai seedless Lime . Most limes on the market have seed flavors that are very similar to yellow lemon , but have a big difference in the taste of seedless lime. Seedless lime can be purchased online. Remove the head and tail of the lime, cut half of it and use juicer to squeeze the juice, and then sifter it through a filter.
lemon juice
Lemon juice is made of yellow lemon, remove the head and tail of the lemon, cut half of it and squeeze the juice with a juicer, and then sif it through a strainer. Lime juice and yellow lime juice should be stored in a sealed jar for up to three days, and pay attention to the dosage when making it.
