This week’s recipe: Boston Cooler

I grew up in southeast Michigan and we would have these during the summer. They are very easy to make, but they are very good! I believe that they need to be made with ONLY Vernor’s soda. Luckily, Smith’s carries this. It has a special taste.

Ingredients (for one drink):

12 oz of Vernor’s ginger ale

3/4 of a pint of vanilla ice cream

Directons:

In a blender, miix together until smooth.

You can also make these like a root beer float if you don’t

You can get the high altitude flour at Walmart. It is higher in protein, and a finer grind. This was the first time I tried it, and I think it did well. I want to keep trying it in baked goods to see if it out performs bread flour.
