Frozen Limonana

by Shoshana on May 5, 2014 · 5 comments

Today is Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, so I decided to share my favorite Israeli drink, frozen Limonana. Since we tend to go to Israel in the summers it is always hot and a cool refreshing drink is the perfect treat.  Frozen Limonana is is my absolute favorite. There is nothing more refreshing than tangy lemonade and spearmint […]

With Yom Haatzmaut, Israel’s […]

Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream

Not wanting to give up on a product with such great potential (and lack of strange artificial ingredients and trans fats) I decided to attempt Mimiccreme ice cream again, this time using stronger flavors. Over shabbos I had reread all of The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz and had been intrigued by what he calls “the girl […]
