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.

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...
