Sip and Watch: When Life Gives You Lemons and Avocados
This short film, clocking in at just under two minutes, is a marvel of imagination. PES takes the mundane - poker chips, dice, golf balls - and morphs them into ingredients for guacamole. The magic lies in how these non-food items are chopped and mixed, creating a dish that is familiar yet fantastically surreal. It's a visual metaphor for creativity: making the ordinary, extraordinary.
The Pair: Lemon Coffee
Lemon Coffee is an intriguing and refreshing twist on your regular cup of coffee. It's surprisingly simple to make and offers a unique combination of flavors that can be quite refreshing. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
Freshly brewed hot coffee (your choice of blend)
1-2 slices of fresh lemon (or more, according to taste)
Honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee. You can use any brewing method you prefer, such as a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine. The key is to make a coffee that you enjoy as the base.
Prepare the Lemon: While your coffee is brewing, slice a fresh lemon. Thin slices work best as they release their juices and essence more readily.
Sweeten (Optional): If you like your coffee sweet, add honey or sugar to the hot coffee and stir well until it's fully dissolved. The sweetness can balance the tartness of the lemon.
Add Lemon: Place one or two slices of lemon into your cup of coffee. You can squeeze the lemon a bit to get some of the juices out before dropping it in, or simply let the slice sit in the coffee to infuse.
Optional Additions: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to your coffee. It pairs nicely with the lemon and adds a warm, spicy note.
Let It Infuse: Let the lemon slice sit in your coffee for a minute or two. This allows the lemon's flavor to infuse into the coffee. The longer you leave it, the more pronounced the lemon flavor will be.
Stir and Enjoy: Give your coffee a gentle stir to blend in the lemon flavor, and enjoy your refreshing cup!
Tips:
The strength of the coffee and the amount of lemon are adjustable based on personal preference.
Experiment with cold brew or iced coffee for a refreshing summer drink.
You can also try adding a sprig of fresh herbs like mint or a slice of ginger for an additional flavor profile.
