Hot chocolate and banana
Milky drinks are wonderfully refreshing when ice-cold and comforting when hot. A summer afternoon is the time for serving tall glasses of iced coffee to the grown-ups and a pale froth of banana
milk shake to the children. Young and old alike will enjoy cups of hot chocolate flavoured with banana and vanilla, and given a spicy edge with cinnamon. |

Caraway Bread Sticks
Ideal to nibble with drinks, these can be made with all sorts of other seeds - try cumin seeds, poppy seeds or celery seeds. |

Spiced cranberry shrub
 Shrub is a name borrowed from the Arabs fruit sherbet drinks. This one is irresistible — deep, glowing pink, ice-cold and refreshingly tart. |

Brandied Egg Nog
This frothy blend of eggs, milk and spirits definitely comes into the nightcap category of drinks. |

Grapefruit and mint spritzer
Drinks are more fun when they gently prickle the palate. The grapefruit spritzer (near right) prickles with sparkling water, while the tea punch and jug of lemon and lime make doubly certain by adding ginger as well. |
