“Think Not anything!” A mantra for The Crown as we labored against opening our doorways in March of 2019, the word changed into a Menu phase, encouraging our guests to drop their preconceptions and be open to new and scrumptious stories. And now it’s the identify of a recipe collection, so that you can recreate at house. Right here’s to a yr of assuming not anything!
Strawberry Shortcake Birthday celebration
The light has been out in Oakland, and right here at The Crown we’re yearning one thing refreshing, a laugh, and summer-y to drink for you!
When arising with this recipe, we would have liked a beverage this is refreshing on the ones sunny Oakland summer season days—and what’s extra harking back to summer season than strawberries with shortcake?! I made it a project to get this scrumptious summer season dessert into beverage shape for you all, and with a small throwback/nod on the Pancake Birthday celebration, a drink we had in Would possibly 2020. The Strawberry Shortcake Birthday celebration is a scrumptious, creamy, fruity, nitro-infused chilly brew concoction that we got here up with. We use oat milk with vanilla to offer a little bit of oat disintegrate cake taste (recall to mind oatmeal cookies or cobbler), strawberries, and chilly brew. By means of infusing this mix with nitro fuel, we get a frothy texture this is highest for pouring over ice. We mud off the completed product with some freeze-dried strawberry powder to offer a bit of berry kick and a pop of colour. I am hoping you experience this frothy, creamy, berry espresso deal with up to I had growing it!

- 2 cups of sizzling water
- ¾ cup of sugar

Instructions:

- Pressure right into a heat-safe container the usage of a colander coated with cheesecloth (or simply the colander in case you don’t thoughts some strawberry bits). Do NOT press at the cooked strawberries to get the liquid out– in a different way, the syrup will probably be cloudy. Gravity most effective!
