🌏 Shirazi salad, or salad shiraz, is the most popular Iranian salad. It can be eaten year round, and in summer it is a meal in itself. The salad is light and refreshing and perfect for entertaining. You can scale up this recipe as much as you want and bring it to potlucks to serve plenty of people. 🌏 This salad is Iranian, or more specifically Persian, so one of the ingredients can be difficult to find. This ingredient is called verjuice and is a juice of pressed crab apples or unripe grapes. However lime juice is a popular substitute. The salad itself is a chopped salad so it is extremely easy to make. Just chop all the ingredients, let them sit in the juice and oil, and enjoy.

 🍒 Sakura latte is a sweet and creamy warm drink that blends milk with cherry blossom powder. The drink recipe is sweetened with honey and topped with fluffy whipped cream. The dreamy pink latte is a romantic spring beverage and will delight your taste buds! Sakura powder infuses the latte with an elegant floral flavor and soft pink color. The powder is made from freeze-dried cherry blossom and cherry leaf paste. Ingredients   Milk : I love whole milk because it makes your Sakura milk tea rich and creamy. However, feel free to make the easy latte recipe with any milk you like. 2%, non-fat, and dairy-free milk will work well. Honey  sweetens the latte, and clear honey is best. Alternatively, substitute maple syrup. Heavy cream  (optional) is the key to making the foamy latte topping. Cream froths up nicely and creates a silky texture Recipe  🌎 Step 1: Warm milk Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add the Sakura powder. Cook over medium-high heat on the stovetop until t

HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA ♥️ For the absolute yummiest result, use real white chocolate. It truly gives the most incredible flavor. ♥️ this homemade version is just as good and will hit all those White Chocolate Mocha sweet spots. You will need: ♥️ Hot coffee : Use your favorite brand, brewed strong if you can. ♥️ White chocolate : Be sure to use high-quality white chocolate in your mocha. Cheap white chocolate chips that are great in cookies don’t have the best flavor for white chocolate drinks. If you wouldn’t eat a handful of them, don’t melt them down to flavor your coffee. ♥️ Milk : Any percent milk will work just fine here, but the higher fat your milk, the richer your drink will be. ♥️ Heavy cream : Heavy cream is optional but adds a little extra richness that is *so good.* And if you have too much heavy cream, go check out my post on what to do with leftover heavy cream. ♥️ Sugar : The white chocolate doesn’t provide quite enough sweetness to get that class
