Harry Potter pumpkin juice


I recently paid a visit to my brother. My sister-in-law wanted to share half of the pumpkin she got from her mother before I left. I initially mistook it for a regular pumpkin. I was surprised by the size of the pumpkin when she brought it out of the fridge. It was a circular pumpkin with a 16" diameter. Have you ever seen a pumpkin this large? It was my very first time. I'm not sure how I will get this half-sized pumpkin finished. When I discovered this Harry Potter pumpkin juice, I was taken aback.


Have you tried the Harry Potter pumpkin juice that was made at Hogwarts? I haven't. I choose to make my own version. A Malaysian version of Harry Potter pumpkin juice. I'm not sure what the taste of the original pumpkin juice is like. But this homemade Harry Potter pumpkin juice is my absolute favourite.

Some of the recipes call for cooking on the stove, while others suggest mixing all the ingredients in a large pitcher and serving cold or hot.

I used to make pumpkin sago dessert, which is an Asian delicacy that can easily be cooked on the stove. What differentiates the Asian pumpkin sago dessert from Harry Potter pumpkin juice? Let us contrast and compare these two.

Sugar and liquid must be added to the pumpkin puree in both recipes. Simply said, it is a different kind of liquid. Coconut milk is used in Asian pumpkin sago dessert, while apple juice or apple cider is used in Harry Potter pumpkin juice. The most significant difference is that the former contains sago while the latter contains spice.

What is the difference between apple juice and apple cider?

As previously indicated, HP's pumpkin juice contains apple juice or apple cider. This ‘cider' should not be tampered with. It is unrelated to vinegar or alcohol. There are two types of apple cider. Apple juice that has not been filtered should be refrigerated. The adult variant of apple cider is called hard cider.

Is it necessary to use all the apple cider?

I followed the recipe correctly, but there was far too much apple juice. So, the flavour is more like apple pie in liquid form, with a hint of pumpkin flavour and cinnamon and nutmeg thrown in for good measure. I am craving more pumpkin flavour. I used half the apple juice and half the water to boil the pumpkin with those spices in a pot. The pumpkin flavour and spice will penetrate the water this way. The pumpkin juice should be thicker than regular juice. Add a little extra apple juice if the mixture is too thick. 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar as a final touch for a fantastic immune-boosting beverage.

What are the best ways to serve and keep pumpkin juice?

Teenagers are always served this refreshing drink cold. It can be served warm or hot, though. Harry Potter's pumpkin juice keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It should be kept in an airtight bottle or container. Shake well before serving.



INGREDIENTS

500g fresh pumpkin, sliced

500ml water

500ml apple cider/apple juice

1/4 cup brown sugar

20g fresh ginger, sliced

1 cinnamon stick

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp apple cider vinegar


METHOD

1. Combine all the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the pumpkins have softened.

2. Remove the pot from the heat and discard the ginger and cinnamon stick from the pot.  In a blender, puree the pumpkin mixture with the apple cider vinegar until smooth. Taste to suit your preferences.

3. Serve it hot or cool entirely before chilling in the refrigerator.



I hope my guide is useful to you. Try this tasty pumpkin juice and feel the magic.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pandan Coconut Moss Jelly Mooncake

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
