You just can't beat sipping some warm mulled wine

You just can't beat sipping some warm mulled wine by the fire to really get those winter feels going... how about testing out this wonderful recipe by Jamie Oliver this weekend!

Ingredients -

2 clementines (or oranges)
1 lemon
1 lime
200 g caster sugar
6 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 fresh bay leaves
1 whole nutmeg , for grating
1 vanilla pod
2 bottles Chianti or other Italian red wine
2 star anise

Method-

Peel large sections of peel from the clementines, lemon and lime using a speed-peeler.
Put the sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the pieces of peel and squeeze in the clementine juice.
Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and about 10 to 12 gratings of nutmeg. Halve the vanilla pod lengthways and add to the pan, then stir in just enough red wine to cover the sugar.
Let this simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved into the red wine, then bring to the boil. Keep on a rolling boil for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until you’ve got a beautiful thick syrup. The reason I’m doing this first is to create a wonderful flavour base by really getting the sugar and spices to infuse and blend well with the wine. It’s important to make a syrup base first because it needs to be quite hot, and if you do this with both bottles of wine in there you’ll burn off the alcohol.
When your syrup is ready, turn the heat down to low and add your star anise and the rest of the wine. Gently heat the wine and after around 5 minutes, when it’s warm and delicious, ladle it into heatproof glasses and serve.

Top Tip Thursday!

This week... How to clean your Silver Jewellery!

There are heaps of different DIY ways to clean your silver jewellery to remove that yucky tarnish that can build up over time...one of the most popular DIY methods for cleaning silver jewellery is one that uses baking soda and aluminum foil! It is super easy and fun! Here is how....

These are the things you will need:

A large bowl
Aluminum foil
Boiling water
1 tablespoon of baking soda for each cup of water
Spoon/kitchen tongs
A dry cleaning cloth

Method-

1. Boil enough water to fill the bowl.
2. Line the bowl with aluminum foil -shiny side up!
3. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda per each cup of water into the bowl - watch out for the bubbles!
4. Pop your silver jewellery in the bowl, just be sure each piece is in contact with the aluminum foil as this is where the magic chemical reaction happens!
5. Leave the magic happen for 2-5 minutes (or longer if your tarnish situation is really bad)
6. Remove the jewellery with the kitchen tongs or spoon and give them a good rinse under cool water. Now is time for a quick buff with the dry cleaning cloth.
7. Now stand back and admire your beautifully shiny and new looking jewellery! 🤩

Today is World Oceans Day. 🐠
This years theme is "The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods"

Did you know?
The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanity’s sustenance and that of every other organism on earth.

The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, it is home to most of earth’s biodiversity, and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world. Not to mention, the ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by 2030.

So give the oceans a little thanks today for everything they do for us 🐬

Meet Karen. Owner and Manager of Café Sebastian in Ballina Fair.

Karen opened Café Sebastian in Ballina Fair 23 years ago and was part of the original Ballina Fair extension! The café is named after Husband and son, Sebastian. Karen’s husband sadly passed away from illness 5 years after opening, left with two young children she continued to keep the business going and growing into the thriving café it it today.

Prior to opening Café Sebastian, Karen worked as a teacher and spent time overseas in Canada and also running a pub in England for 3 years before returning to Australia where she began work with the Black Stump Chain of steakhouses. Here she met her husband, and it also marked the start of them launching their own hospitality business. The couple first opened the “Duckin Cafe’ in Alstonville which ran for 5 years before opening Cafe Sébastian.

Café Sebastian is ‘restaurant style dining’ offering full table service. With many regular customers they know on a first name basis, Karen is proud of the warm and friendly service they offer. With the exception of the quiches, lasagnes which are premade in-house, everything on the menu is made fresh to order and they are more than happy to customise any order. One of the most popular item on the menu is their Diced Bacon, Cheese and Banana Open Sarnie!

Fresh and humble food, friendly service and the homely and welcoming atmosphere has been Café Sebastian’s recipe for success... and 23 years plus of business is testament to that! Have you dined at Café Sebastian?
