Pancakes for breakfast

The most wonderful man in the world makes the most wonderful pancakes in the world for breakfast. So here's the recipe, including a recipe for chocolate sauce by our swedish friends.

Pancake with strawberries and vanilla oat whipped cream.

Preparation time: about 30 minutes total.
Suggested music: Swedish medieval music from Patriarkus!

Ingredients for the pancakes:

• 150 g flour
• 250 mL soy milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg replacement (e.g. 1 tablespoon soy flour; it seems this is not even necessary, we left it out and it still worked)

What to do:

1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Add soy milk and optional egg replacement while stirring.
3. Pour small portions of the batter into a pan over medium heat. Brown lightly from both sides.

Pancake with vanilla oat ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Ingredients for the chocolate sauce:

• 1 part cocoa powder (the one used for baking)
• 1 part sugar
• 1 part water
• dash of salt

What to do:

1. Mix the cocoa powder and sugar in a small pot. Add the water bit by bit while stirring.
2. Bring to a boil on the stove. Let simmer until it thickens a bit.

Arabesque tea

The fabulous Bierkeller in Tübingen served for a long time my absolute favorite winter drink: Arabesque tea. Of course they did not reveal their exact recipe, but the ingredients are easy, there is not much that can go wrong.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Suggested music: Azam Ali (for example this song)

Ingredients (for 1 glass of tea):

• 300 mL water
• 1 mint tea bag
• some mint leaves
• 1/2 lime
• 4 tablespoons strawberry syrup
• brown sugar (optional)

What to do:

1. Bring the water to a boil and pour in a glass with the mint tea bag. 
2. Wash the mint leaves and add into the glass.
3. Squeeze the lime and add the juice to the tea. You can also make the caipirinha-like version and add pieces of the lime to the tea directly.
4. Add the strawberry syrup. The exact amount depends on the sweetness of your syrup, and if it is sufficiently strawberry-flavored, but still too sour, add some brown sugar.
5. After 10 minutes, remove the tea bag and enjoy.
