Americans in Egypt, you feel a little homesick?
This week I've learned to recreate your favorite cheap drinks purely by accident.
Tuesday night, I learned the recipe for Boon's Farm.
3 parts Green Apple Miranda soda
1 part Gin.
Tastes exactly like apple Boon's. Fellow Americans agreed.
Friday Night, I've given us the one thing we all don't miss: Boxed Wine.
There's a drink here called Kirkadee, its sweetened hibiscus tea, and it's delicious. Friday night in the middle of a party, I spent an hour in the kitchen brewing up a batch of this tea with my friends. We then managed to defrost the entire freezer trying to cool it, then mixed it with egyptian vodka (tastes like rubbing alcohol). the result:
Cold: Franzia's Red Chardonay.
Hot: Plum Wine (actually not terrible, though not reccommended)
so, after two hours of effort I managed to create not only boxed wine, but the worst flavor of all boxed win. Red Wine. I'm a fucking champion.

you know that you are currently missing american drinks, but when you return, and you had better because we still need to have our dance party, you will be craving all your egyptian drinks.
I'll have you know, there are no egyptian drinks.
I have four glasses of nescafe a day, and tap water. I'm sure gonna miss that instant coffee smell, and gentle metallic aftertaste in my mouth.
