(Bring your own bag.) Ami, Blended Smoothies Go Down Easy ETHEL HOFMAN SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWSF hat's America's favorite hot weather thirst quencher? Millions will - insist it's iced tea. The beverage is easy to make, cheap, refreshing, and if you don't add sugar, it's calorie free. And when prepared with one of the herb- or fruit-flavored teas such as mint, pineapple, banana or black currant, glamorized with a wedge of papaya or mango, it's transformed into a sizzling, sexy drink. But this summer, a new variety of blended, non-alcoholic drinks are on the scene ... and from coast to coast, business is booming. Ingredients for these smooth- ies run the gamut from ice cream, yogurts, coffees and teas, Asian flavors, sweet and salty — the sky's the limit. Happily, with wonder appliances such as food processors, blenders and juicers, these delicious concoctions are quick and easy to make at home. Assemble the ingredients and any one may be whisked up in seconds. No stove or oven heat is needed for these versatile coolers and they add sparkle to any meal. Low-calorie items like Homemade Tomato Crush make a refreshing starter for a summer lunch or supper, and thick, sweet shakes such as the Creamy Trop- ical Frappe can double as a dessert that's fat free, too. The Indian custom of serving delicately flavored yogurt with hot, spicy, curried foods inspired Vanilla Lassi. Rosewater, which adds a light fragrance, is avail- able in gourmet markets and some supermarkets, and will keep its flavor indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry, dark place. And rich, thick ice cream shakes like ChocoMoca Thickshake and Strawberry Swirl are pure heav- en to dessert lovers. Use your imagination. Feel free to substitute ingredients according to season and your own taste ... or make up your own recipes as you go. Whatever you do, these smooth summer sippers will add a tantalizing dimension to home cooking. / When you go shopping remember to bring your own bag. You can do more than you think.
