General Notes:
-
All recipes serve 2 unless
otherwise stated and take 30-60 seconds’ blending – starting on low and
increasing to high.
-
If using frozen fruit omit the
ice cubes. You can substitute plain ice cubes with the same quantity of
frozen base liquid to give a fuller flavour
-
Where possible, chill the base
liquid beforehand
