COOL DOWN WITH THIS DELICIOUS FRUIT PUNCH THIS SPRING!

As the Spring days are starting to heat up, we are all finding our moods lighten a bit with the beautiful weather and new flowers that are blooming. As soon as the thirst  hits us from the warm weather, what better way to cool down than with a delicious fruit punch. This fruit punch isn’t only delicious but also super quick to make for yourself and when guests come to visit.

The recipe book, Clover Mama Afrika Recipe Book – I cook, because we eat!  has in part been subsidized by Clover because we believe that good food and great memories shouldn’t be limited by price. Also, by purchasing the cookbook, you will be actively helping ladies around South Africa achieve their small business dreams through the Clover Mama Afrika project, which aims to identify women who are already agents of change in their communities and helps train them to become self-sustaining women with skills which they can use to derive an income from, in order to support orphaned and abused children and the elderly and infirm.

The cookbook can be purchased at Lapa Publishers and costs R230.00.
