So can we have peppermint mint tea then? I thought we weren't allowed any herbal teas. (Will be so happy if I can!) if so is it only certain brands?

We most certainly CAN have peppermint tea

You can have ANY tea, as long as it is not made with fruit or flowers.

Any brand peppermint is fine.

oh that makes me so happy! gonna go out and buy some today!

just made my mint hot choc. Was pretty nice, could taste the herbal-y taste of the tea a bit too much but was lovely and warm and comforting

zadra · 9th March, 2008

Could anyone quickly advise me on crisp/popadum making? I have tried twice and both times it turned out to be disaster (leaving me without tea and putting me of thai chili).
My 'creations' certainly were not crispy, couldn't even get them off the plate properly :S
I guess it might be hard to find any pictures of LL crisps ( I failed), but could someone at least describe how they should look, and how much water should be added? (I managed to make it a smooth paste that was slightly dropping off the spoon, before trying to form 'crisps', after microvaving was done it was 'glued' to the plate and refused to come off >.<)
And I do feel like having something, .. well.. crispy

I cook mine on grease prrof paper and they peel right off - I also make the mixture slightly wet, as you described - I drop about half-to a teastpoon full on the paper and is shoulh spread slightly, to between the size of a 10p coin to a 50p coin, if that makes sense. If it holds its shape as you drop it off the spon it might need more water. I cook mine for about 2 minutes in total, watching very closely for the last minute making sure they don't get too brown. Then cool slightly, peel off of the paper and cool fully on a rack.

I found that not enough water leaves the insides chewy which is awful! But try the paper, not a plate.

Good luck!

thanks alot BL, i will try again soon

I just made a chocolate muffin (had only tried a banana one which was disgusting!) it was pretty nice, I warmed up a vanilla shake and poured it over like custard. It was quite pleasant. Up to now though I seem to enjoy just drinking my pack more than making anything with it. Gonna try the crisps next I think. What is the best flavour to do it with you think? Chicken?

The only one that doesnt REALLY work out that well taste wise as crisps I found was the vegetable.

All the others are fine, but Thai Chilli in my opinion make the nicest ones.

Once you've made them a few times you become a dab hand!

My latest discovery is dunking the peanut bar in sweetened coffee. It's soooo yummy!!!

(unless you don't like coffee, of course....)

Topcat · 25th April, 2008

I have the chicken 'crisps' every day - it did take me a couple of goes to get it completely right. I tend to make a smooth paste (the consistency of toothpaste), and spread it onto greaseproof paper with the back of a spoon to make little discs. Nuke for 1 minute, then 20 seconds at a time, opening the door in between each time to let them cool down a bit. Takes 2-3 mins total, but it's different for every microwave. Just carry on until they're crisp right through and peel easily off the paper. They do crisp up a bit more as they cool down too. You can then keep them in an airtight container until you need them - great for taking out with you on your travels. They taste nice in all the flavours, but chicken is my favourite. Some of the girls in my group add salt during the cooking, but I don't find it necessary.
