Come together, right now, over we (That’s a Beatles reference, Raven). This week Raven and Campbell discuss not-so solid character introductions, psychedelic induced visuals, and the music-invasive species known as The Beatles in the 2007 musical film, Across the Universe.
Strawberry Jams Recipe:
- 1.5 oz vodka
- Fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- 10 Fresh strawberries or frozen
- Granulated sugar to taste (we used 1-2 tsp)
- 2 tsp bloomed chia seeds*
In a blender, combine lemon juice, strawberries, and sugar until fully blended. Mix in chia seeds. Pour into a glass over ice if using fresh strawberries or as is if using frozen strawberries. Add vodka and stir. Enjoy!
*Blooming chia seeds is super easy. Take about 3 tbsp of chia seeds and allow them to soak in 1 cup of water in the fridge for 2-3 hrs or overnight.
