Pretty and Pink Lemonade x

What up? How was everyone's long weekend? I loved mine. For the first time in like a month I've felt motivated to blog again.
So yesterday I went shopping and found these cute glasses and couldn't resist coming up with a yummy drink recipe to put in them, and what better drink than pink lemonade.
This recipe is super easy, and ridiculously quick to make and the best bit is it is kinda healthy... I mean there is only a tiny bit of sugar which you could substitute for a sweetener or omit altogether.
And you don't need any big appliances like a blender or a juicer. I made this with just my hands, a small whisk and bowl.
This recipe serves two, perfect for you and your BFF on a sunny day!

You will need...

Homemade Raspberry Lemonade ✖️

When I was a kid making lemonade was always so exciting, i don't know why but it was always just so much fun and made me feel a little old fashioned. Let's be real, who doesn't love the idea of a cool jug of freshly squeezed lemonade. This recipe creates a fresh and zesty drink that will slowly turn from yellow to soft pink. I was sipping on a couple on these and some cranberry mocktails on Australia Day and it was the perfect beverage for the warm weather. Also, it just looks soo pretty and who doesn't love a pretty drink! x  

Anyway, here is what you'll need...

✖️ 400g of Lemons, washed 

✖️ 2 cups of Water

✖️ 2-3 Tbs of Coconut Sugar

✖️ Raspberries 

✖️ Sparkling Water

✖️ Ice

✖️ Lemon to Decorate 

...AND here is how to make it;

✖️ In a blender, blend the lemons (whole), the still water and the coconut sugar together for a couple of minutes, or until smoothish.

✖️ Then strain the puree until all the juice has been removed from the pulp. 

✖️ Fill a glass a quarter of the way with the juice and add ice, a handful of raspberries and top with sparkling water. 

✖️ Then you can decorate glass with a slice of lemon, a paper umbrella and a straw. Or don't, it's up to you x 

✖️ Hope you love it! ✖️

Camden Markets ☾

When I ask someone my age where their favourite places in London are, there’s a good chance Camden Town is pretty high on their list. 

So I figured it was about time I went to check it out myself. 

Let’s just say you can believe the hype. 

Generally I’m not really a fan of markets. They smell weird and the stalls are repetitive and filled with junk. If I’m being completely honest the Camden markets weren’t that different in that sense, the majority of the stalls either sold leathery goods, pop culture t-shirts/hoodies or prints of London. Oh not to mention there was plenty of Asian furniture/lantern shops that were filled with so much incense I got a headache walking past them. 

But what made a market snob like me have fun was how the markets themselves were set out in such a cool way that it was fun navigating through all the receptive stalls.

But the best bit was the food markets and cafe’s. The smells and the music made me feel like I was back home at Festivale, Launceston’s annual food and wine festival. Especially when I stumbled upon the Dutch Pancake stall, which people from home will know as the Worlds Smallest Pancakes. If you’re not familiar with Dutch pancakes think mini pancakes doused in Nutella and topped with strawberries ummm…. Yes Please! 

There was also Cereal Killer which I suppose is a cafe? Anyway it sells cereal (What? no way? Totally surprising right?) and I just know that one of my friends back home would absolutely love it.

ANYWAY it wasn’t just the amaze looking food that upped Camden’s game, but the food stalls themselves. The decorations were on point. Like seriously, all the food stores were really unique and pretty! I nearly bought a coconut iced tea even though I don’t really like coconut, the display was just so cool I wanted to buy from them and people looked so cool drinking from a coconut.

For real though Camden Town has some seriously cool vibes and I totally get why the Libertines love hanging out there. I’m refs going to go back with some of my friends.

Let me know what your fave part of Camden Town is or what other markets I should check out! 

Love ya! xx
