Make it easy this morning as you will be having a super busy day….this will help you de-stress as well.
This will serve 4 so adjust the amounts to suit the number of people at your table this morning.
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp. lime zest
In a small pot, combine these ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as the sugar has completely dissolved. Cool now to room temperature.
Pistachio Pesto
- 1 cup pistachios, shelled, chopped
- 10 mint leaves
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- lime infused syrup (1 cup syrup with lime zest from 1 lime)
- 1 x 500g container of vanilla yogurt
- 1 pint of fresh raspberries
Combine the pistachios, mint leaves and vanilla in a food processor and lime infused syrup for about 25-28 seconds, until it has the consistency of a pesto.
Put 2 tbsp of the pesto in the bottom of a pretty glass, and layer 3-4 heaping tbsp. of the yogurt, a layer of the raspberies and repeat the layers, finishing with 2 more heaping tbsp. of the pesto.
In case you haven’t focused yet, these are the colours of the season. Enjoy!
