Cocktails based on dairy products and fresh juices are wonderful refreshing and at the same time filling drinks. They can become the main dish of a friendly party. The dish, the main ingredients of which are lemon and sour cream, is also a rich source of protein. It can become not only a delicious treat, but also a complete protein shake for an athlete.
It is necessary
-
- 1 lemon (and a slice for garnish)
- boiling water;
- 2 glasses of tea;
- 4 tablespoons of honey;
- 150-400 g sour cream;
- powdered sugar;
- zest;
- 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil;
- 1 yolk;
- 1 tablespoon of fruit and berry jam.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick a large, ripe, thin-skinned lemon from the store, wash it, and carefully poke holes in the skin with a toothpick. Be careful not to damage the fruit pulp! Place the lemon in boiling water for 3-5 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon. Thanks to this procedure, it will be possible to squeeze out the maximum amount of juice from one citrus, and it will be more aromatic.
Step 2
Mash the warmed lemon well in your hands, roll it on a firm horizontal surface. It can then be cut in half lengthwise and squeezed out in a dedicated manual or electric citrus juicer.
Step 3
If you decide to use a multipurpose food processor, it is recommended that you first remove the lemon zest on a fine grater and remove the white, bitter shell. Then cut the pulp into small slices.
Step 4
Brew 2 cups of strong green or black tea, add 4 tablespoons of natural honey to it. Stir everything until a homogeneous solution is obtained. Cool the mixture by placing the container in cold water.
Step 5
Put 2 cups of fresh sour cream, freshly squeezed lemon juice into cold sweet tea and beat the cocktail thoroughly with a mixer until fluffy foam. Pour the ready-made lemon-sour cream drink into glasses immediately and decorate the dish if desired.
Step 6
You can beautifully arrange a cocktail with lemon and sour cream by pre-lubricating the upper outer edge of the glass with lemon juice and immersing it in powdered sugar. Shake the dishes lightly so that the excess powder falls off, and a light "snow" rim will appear on it.
Step 7
Cut a thin circle (about 3-5 mm thick) from a whole lemon, make a small incision on one side and place the decoration on the edge of the glass. In addition, a few pieces of fresh or dry rind can be dipped into a lemon-sour cream cocktail.
Step 8
Protein shakes are very popular among athletes who are professionally involved in bodybuilding and athleticism. You can make such drinks at home from natural ingredients. If you don't have a dedicated protein powder on hand, replace it with sour cream.
Step 9
Mix in a mixer:
- water with sugar to taste;
- half a glass of lemon juice;
- 150 g of 20% sour cream;
- 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil;
- 1 cheese yolk and any fruit and berry jam (1 tablespoon).
According to experienced trainers, this drink is as rich in animal proteins and tonic substances as special products from health food stores.
