Cool Money production Ideas For The Summer

Okay, it's summer. Everyone's getting hot and bothered, but instead of sweating buckets and letting the heat get to you, why not make the summer sun work to your advantage? Here's a concentrate of cool money development ideas you could try.

Sell and rent swimming pools

HOT DOG FLAVORED

If the family can't go to the pool, why not bring the pool to the family? Go house to house with a account of colorful kiddie pools and family sized movable pools. How to get your stock? If it's the smaller kiddie sized ones, you can get them from plastics wholesalers in bulk at a lower cost or you could act as an agent for fellowships that sell movable swimming pools. You profit by charging your own markup.

Beach Gear

Set up a stall at the beach selling inflatable toys, sun tan lotion, swim suits and other beach gear. Don't confine yourself to just beach gear - use the zephyr to your advantage - sell bubble blowers, kites and balloons.

Teach Water Sports

Since everyone's heading to the beach, if you're an specialist surfer or windsurfer or jet-skier, teach those who can't. You'll need your basic training equipment - that means extra surfboards etc. For your students. Charge by the hour for express lessons or by the days for longer, detailed coaching.

Drinks and Fruit Smoothies

Everyone needs to drink lots of water when it's hot right? Set up a stall selling good old fashioned lemonade or wholesome fruit smoothies. You'll need a heavy duty blender and a contribute of plastic cups for this.

Flavored Ice

If you know where you can rent a concentrate of meat freezers, you could make flavored ice tubes. Fill small hot-dog shaped plastic bags or ice cube trays with flavored drinks and stick them in the freezer. They're cheap to make and you can mark up the price for a nice profit. Sell them by the bags or tubes. Kids will love popping in a cube or two now and then to cool off.

Snowballs and Snow Cones

Shaved ice is a phenomenal thing. You can scoop them into wafer cones or just pack them into snowballs and pour colored flavoring on them and voila! you have snow cones and snowballs. No limit to the estimate of flavors you can offer. You'll need an galvanic ice shaver if you expect a large crowd or the good old fashioned hand operated ice shaver which is cheaper. Both want right handling lest you end up with red ice - if you know what I mean!

Cooling Station

Do you stay far away from the beach or local swimming pool? Do you have a front yard or open space with lots of shady trees? Open up a cooling center serving drinks, ice cream and snacks. Get a concentrate of wading pools for the kids to splash around in or maybe a concentrate of sprinklers. Make extra money by renting water shooters. Make it a family fun place.

Summer Clothes

Sell summer clothes - vests, shorts, bandanas and slippers. Set up a stall to customize them with iron-on summer motifs or hand painted messages. Get your stock from clothing wholesalers or factories to keep your cost low.

Personal Cooling Accessories

Skin tends to get dry and hot in the summer. Ladies are more bothered about this, so sell face freshener sprays and mini battery operated fans. These are handy items that they can carry in their handbags and use to cool down. Caress your local novelty or electrical seller to get cheap mini battery operated fans.

Pet Baths

Humans aren't the only ones who get hot and bothered in the summer. When dogs get hot and sweaty, they're ideal breeding grounds for fleas. They also start to smell. Help busy pet owners keep their pets cool and clean by offering pet baths.

Water Adventures

Organize one-day water adventures - kayaking, trips to a waterfall, scuba diving, snorkeling. Make sure you're powerful to do this and take all the critical security precautions. You want this to be a money maker, not lose money with inherent lawsuits!

Things you'll need to consider.

You'll need to keep your costs as low as possible. This means seeing suppliers who can offer the bottom price. It would be ideal if you could work out an arrangement where you act as an agent for that victualer or only have to pay for stock that is sold. That way, you won't be left holding unsold stock when summer's over.

You may need to invest a small estimate of money to gain equipment or supplies. Work out your cost and price your products accordingly. You will need to check with local authorities about licensing or zoning laws governing your temporary business. Many local authorities issue temporary trading licences which are renewable every month. Check out your local laws especially with regards to food businesses. Keep things legal and you won't have to worry when you're busy development money! Cheers!

production Spicy Chai Indian Style Tea at Home

Having worked for many years in the technology sector with many fine citizen of east Indian legacy and/or origin, I not only industrialized a taste for spicy hot curries and full, Indian cuisine, but also for a type of spiced tea which has become popularized in the West over the last decade or so. This is "spiced chai", or "chai tea". What is amusing is that "chai" is the name for tea. So the phrase "chai tea" is actually just a repetition in two languages. What is spiced chai? It is when you mix together strong black Indian teas with a spice blend called "tea masala". Tea masala popularly contains ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Mint leaves can optionally be added into the mix for a pleasant flavor variation.

This is not meant to b e a recipe so I will not state amounts. I rarely work from recipes. It is more fun to just experiment. What you should do to make a proper sort of spiced chai is to get some loose Ctc cut Indian tea from an Indian store or online. Beloved Indian brands are Wagh Bakri, Taj Mahal, Lipton Red or Yellow Label (the Indian versions Not the American Lipton, which is a weak American blend unrelated to the Indian brands), or any other strong Assam black tea that you can find. The Ctc type of tea looks like dinky tiny balls. They are basically a "cut tear curl" cut of tea which infuses very well into water, making a strong black solution. Take a few cups of water and boil in a pot.

Put in any teaspoons of this Ctc or other strong black tea and let it simmer for a few minutes with a spoon of the chai spice blend, the tea masala mentioned earlier. Let the tea and the spices mix in a slow simmer for about 5 minutes. You can now add milk (enough to lighten to a nice creamy muddy color) and turn up the heat until it hits a boil, then back off and simmer for a few minutes. You can either add sugar or sweetener to the whole batch or by the cup. This is a drink meant to be sweetened. If you do not want sugar or are diabetic, you can use artificial or other sweetener.

I prefer stevia but xylitol also works well. (xylitol can be fatal to dogs - not that you would give the chai to a dog but I mention it anyway) Now you can use a strainer to catch the loose tea leaves when you pour the hot spicy brew into cups, or a tea kettle, for serving. Indian citizen use fancy tea brewers for this whole process. If you desire strict amounts, you can actually find them online straight through any of the major crusade engines.

Spicy chai is a refreshing and lovely spiced tea drink. In India they have roadside tea stalls and vendors that sell it by the cup. Using a proper spice mix (or your own milling of the listed spices) and a good capability strong Indian Assam tea is the way to go. Do not use the pre spiced bags of tea except in dire situations when you cannot do better, like if you are at work. Tea is a wholesome drink and the spices in spiced chai are very wholesome for digestion and full, well being.

Cinnamon alone is great for holding blood sugar levels in check, especially if you sweeten your chair with stevia or other non sugar sweetener. Strong Assam tea contains many more antioxidant properties than weak market tea that many the in the West and in America think of when they think of tea. Many citizen who claim to dislike tea just never had whatever except the pathetically flavor lacking types they find in the local supermarket. A good capability black tea should look at dark as fresh brewed coffee when wholly steeped in water.

Spicy chai can open up other world of flavor sensation, and it can be as satisfying to the taste buds as an entire meal, without the fat of a full meal. Get yourself some tea masala and some Assam black tea and try it for yourself. You won't be sorry.
