The African Cherry Cocktail

By

This is long overdue, I’m so sorry.

So, there’s more to enjoying the African cherry (Agbalumo, Udara, Otien) than popping it in your mouth and enjoying its fleshy juices. That can’t be all.

The curiosity that led to the first cooked meal must definitely have led to the discovery of the African cherry cocktail.
I’m sure you must be wondering by now where the juice from the cocktail will come from, I wondered at first, but now I know.

Without further ado, you need the following for the cocktail:

3 African cherry
2 Tablespoons honey
3 Scent leaves
1 teaspoon ginger powder
A tablespoon of sugar
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon Angostura Bitters (or any other bitters)
2 shots of Hennessy (Optional)

The Hennessy has a sweet undertone to complement this drink but you can it have this drink as a mocktail instead if you choose not to add alcohol.

Method
Wash and peel your agbalumo fruits scraping the seeds and the skin for all the elements of the fruit into a bowl.



In a blender, pour in the agbalumo scrapings, scent leaf, honey, sugar, ginger powder and water.
Blend till smooth. Pour over a sieve into a bowl or jug to get the pulp out of your drink




Stir in the angostura bitters and at this point add the Hennessy and serve your agbalumo cocktail over ice.

Have a sweet weekend

Give up on giving up.

There are so many circumstances around our lifes that would make us feel like  throwing in the towel, situations that are seemingly beyond repair and salvation. Friends and families we are tired of trying to love. we want it all to end, we want to feel free from the stress. Right, situations like that can be very stressful and tiring. How about we forsaking the idea of giving up, how about we persevering. Holding on to faith and love. Why don't we keep holding the hand that rejects us, wiping  the tears from the cheeks of those who despise us,why don't we ke...

Failure!

By
Failure. A word no one wants to associate with. Failure is a negative  word. No  one wants to be called a failure or acknowledge failure. However, it's almost inescapable. We fail so that  we can succeed oftentimes.  Also, failure teaches us to lookout for the missing ingredient (s) and position ourselves not to leave out that important ingredient again. Failure isn't a random rain drop. It's usually a result of some activities. When we fail, what do we do? What's our approach to failure? How do we channel our failure and ensures it leads to success at the end of the day? First, there is the need to come to terms with the failed end result and realise that failure doesn't mean the end of our dreams and the pursuit of our goals. Self forgiveness is highly important here.  Some of us are prone to being judgemental.  We think no good of ourselves and over critise and condemn ourselves.  We can't move past that failure if we keep putting ourself down.

We all speak about love. We want to be in love, we want to be loved, we love someone, we love something and the likes. But really what is love? Some would tell you there is no such thing like love. Like I once heard, that love is an overused English word... hmmn! I agree. Some people feel somehow using the word for even their friends. Some guys would rather not tell a lady they love her. While, some use the word carelessly. Love has being explained by different people and have being given different meanings. We even categorise it, we say there is 'Phileo', we say there is 'Eros', and 'Agape'. But all said, we are still talking about love, let's forget d types. In all, love is God, God is love. But as humans how do we term love, what does it truly mean to us, do we have to love based on conditions, do we have to feel constricted to declare that we love someone? And so on. We even tell ourselves we cannot love unconditionally, some would even sa...
