My water bottle is manipulating me. I just filled it up with tap water, so I know for a fact that I’m drinking plain H2O, but against all odds, I’m tasting notes of lemon-basil. That’s because this isn’t a regular water bottle, and while I think I’m tasting lemon-basil, I’m actually smelling it. advertisement advertisement Between 75% and 95% of what we taste comes from our sense of smell. That’s why food can taste bland when you have a stuffy nose, or why you can’t recognize the exact flavor of a jelly bean if you pop it in your mouth while pinching your nose .

By Melissa Clark , The New York Times The usual path to homemade vegan ice cream is slicked with dairy-free milk — almond, coconut, cashew, hemp. But there’s another option that gives you an even richer, plusher result: oat creamer. With their inherent starchiness, oats can help thicken and stabilize frozen desserts, keeping ice crystals at bay. Many vegan ice cream recipes call for added starch, like arrowroot powder or cornstarch, but oat creamer, a relative newcomer to the alternative milk market, eliminates this need. Another advantage is oat creamer’s mild, subtle taste. Unlike, say, assertive coconut milk, it lets the flavor of the more important ingredients shine. In this easy, no-churn peanut butter-maple ice cream, the oat creamer and the nut butter are whirled in a blender with maple syrup, a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla. Then, the mixture is transferred to a metal loaf pan and thrown into the freezer, only to be pulled out a few hours later — a creamy … [Read more...] about Four-ingredient peanut butter ice cream, without a machine
