When it comes to keeping fresh produce, well… fresh, it can come as a bit of a mission impossible in your student halls of residence. This ultimately leading a damaging waste in money, as well as food that’ll be thrown away! What a disaster, we couldn’t think of anything worse in the world, so that is why we have devised a cunning list to help you save on your dollar and keep the all important flavours in your food too.
We all know of the magical freezer and the wonders that it can do, but did you know that by actually freezing some foods, they taste better post frosting? From fresh fruit, to after dinner desserts, here are a few things that you should be freezing to cash in on your quid’s and eat great also, and here they are…
Just about any type of Fruit…
The best bite has to be grapes; green or red, you choose your preference, but pop a few of these in the freezer and once they’re solid, you’ll be knocking them back like last Thursdays Jaeger bombs. Also, mango cubes are wicked and so are watermelon slices too; simply dice up your goods, pop it in the minus temperature magician, the ping, you’ve got a delicious, healthy treat.
I dair-y you…
Got some left over dairy products in your fridge that you need to do something with ASAP? Throw them into an airtight container and sling them in the freezer. Yogurts make for a scrumptious, creamy delight and what’s more, you should try them on cheesecakes too. They make for a knock out sweet dish and we all love a slice of New York’s finest dessert, don’t we?
Revitalise your drinks…
Damn, you’ve done it again. Not only did you forget to drink that much needed cup of coffee when you were slugging into your essay, but the mug of Joe is too cold to drink. Well, don’t waste it because freezing the already-cold coffee in an ice tray can make for a wicked milk mate. Blast it in the freezer, plop them into a glass of milk and you’ve got an ice coffee good enough to rival your local cafe. Why not try it with your favourite fizzy drinks too, and if you’re feeling extra naughty, an alcoholic sorbet can never go a miss.
Sweets for my sweet…
Is that packet of gummy bears starting to look a bit worse for wear after sitting on your shelf for three days? You know what to do, hike them in the freezer. Crane them out after four hours or so, and you’ve got yourself a chewy, cold sweet that tastes better than the original. Another beautiful trick is a bag full of marshmallows in the ice box too because not only does it make them less gooey, but they are a refreshing, sweetness to any goodie bag.
