that's why it tastes like perfume, your like me I can't do really strong smells that start tasting like toiletries . If you like milder flavours then fennel is lovely, the one I'm having camomile and spiced apple is lovely, its like apple pie can't go wrong there. I don't like black currant neither or Ribena yukky ! lol
.KALE SOUP RECIPE
Ingredients -
frylight
x1 small diced onion
x2 stock cubes
x1 can tinned tomatoes
x1 can chick peas
x1 can red kidney beans
75g Kale chopped
250g sliced mushrooms
250g frozen mix veg bag (of your choice, I buy mine from Asda, its an oriental mix one, its yummy)
pinch of garlic powder
pinch of chilli flakes
pinch of black pepper
pinch of cumin powder
pinch of smoked paprika
squeeze of lemon juice
fresh coriander to garnish
Method -
Take a large saucepan, spray with frylight and sauté the onions on medium heat until brown, now add the tin tomatoes and crumble the x2 stock cubes in, cook for 3-4 mins, now add all the vegetables (leave out the kale) add all the spices add more water to the pan so the veggies are covered and now allow to simmer for 15 mins on low heat. Now add a squeeze of lemon juice to the soup and now add the kale and simmer for a further 3-4 minutes then turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh coriander. Your Kale soup is ready and its packed with nutrition and flavour
PS. I used chick peas and red kidney beans to bulk mine up because I was not using chicken because I do green days. If your making this on a red day, then leave the beans out because chicken will be your source of protein, use the rest of the veg and the kale, should come out lovely.
Enjoy !!
I'm doing the big shop either tomorrow or Saturday so I'll see what Aldi have got in stock - all I can do is try different ones and eliminate the toiletries :giggle:
Yes dense that's it! Ooh I love apple I'll definitely try that! My OH drinks hot Ribena or hot Vimto when he's got a cold and I think it's vile
I suppose the fennel tea would taste like liquorice I'm guessing? I'm not a fan of liquorice so I'd probably give that one a miss too... xx
.
I like the ginger one when I'm cold, it warms me up inside but has a strong flavour, not sure if you will be a fan. Some of their fruity flavours taste better as iced teas in the summer than hot because then they start to taste like perfume lol . Have fun shopping. Aldi's benefit bars are very popular and their coconut yogurt I think Cookie buys and mrs store gets their cassava crisp bags which she says are really yum, worth trying instead of your sunbites

Both of my Aldi's have been out of stock of the benefit bars for months now it's ridiculous! And I keep looking for the coconut yoghurts because I love coconut, but no luck as yet. I haven't seen the cassava crisps so I'll keep my eye out when I go
