Video † The butler, educating
Nov. 14th, 2010 08:12 pmGood afternoon.
[Sebastian smiled, his starched white sleeves rolled up to his elbow. He's standing inside the tidy kitchen in the mansion, apparently preparing tea. The tea service is ready to be sent out, but directly in front of the view of the Dreamberry there is a stack of apples. Sebastian gestures to these]
Firstly, I would like to properly welcome our new arrivals to Somarium, on behalf of my young Master. I am Sebastian, the Phantomhive butler.
The weather has turned cool, hasn't it? I have been preparing a fire every morning and after sundown, to chase away the chill in the mansion. But I also thought my young Master might enjoy some homemade apple cider. And if you're so inclined, you could easily prepare it from the comfort of your own cottage or apartment. It's rather simple. [That is not to say anyone can manage it, however. He can think of a number of fail servants that would manage to make a mess of simple cider]
I recommend fresh apples. Fallen apples should not be consumed, and imperfect, bruised fruit won't produce the best cider. [Can you say perfectionist? Why, yes]
Once you've secured your apples, make sure they're properly cleaned. Wash them thoroughly, then core them. If you're adept with a knife, slice each apple into quarters. If you cannot be trusted with a blade, you might forgo the entire process. The recipe does not call for a blood sacrifice. [Smiles congenially, while slicing his apples neatly into sections]
[Insert rest of demo here - truncated for tl;dr]
Your cider will be fresh if imbibed within the week. You could prepare it hot, for the dual benefit of both taste and warmth. If you don't care for apples, there are a number of tea selections I might suggest for the season.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must return to my work. Enjoy the day.
