A cool refreshing glass of Taste Me on a hot summer’s day hits all the right spots. New in the market, this instant soft drink powder is available in four mouth-watering fruit flavours – orange, mango, lychee and pomegranate.

Available in 25gm sachets and 200gm Family Pack, SMC Enterprise LTd ensures that the instant soft drink powder is certified by the Bangladesh Standard and Testing Institution (BSTI). With Ramadan approaching fast, here are some fun and simple DIY treats you can whip up using the delicious refreshing flavours of Taste Me.
Drinks
A chilled glass of Taste Me is ideal on its own. But if you want to put an exciting new spin on the drink, then try out these DIY options.
Sorbet
Looking for something a little different? Amp up your drinking experience by whipping up this refreshingly different take on the ready-to-go drink. In a wide dish, combine 4 tablespoons of your desired Taste Me flavour with some water. Set in the fridge till it freezes. Next, scrape a generous spoonful of the icy treat into a sugar-edged martini glass for some flare and top it off with some club soda for an added fizz.
A twist on tradition
Step away from the traditional route of mixing water and a sachet of Taste Me. Grab yourself a blender, some ice, a sprig of mint, a wedge of lime and a couple spoonful of sugar to taste. Blend it all together with water and Taste Me orange flavoured mix for a pleasant twist on a classic drink.
Summer Treats
For a hot blazing summer day, these DIY icy treats with your favourite Taste Me flavour is the perfect way to beat the heat.
Ice Shavings
Taste Me offers an assortment of flavours. So pick one and get started. First, make a glass of your favourite Taste Me, and pour them into ice moulds. After it has set, crush the flavoured ice cubes and transport them to a mug. Dollop over some condensed milk and settle in for a refreshing summer treat.
Taste Me Popsicles
An absolute crowd pleaser this one. All you need is a glass of your choice of Taste Me and an ice-cream mould. If you are feeling inspired, you can also combine different flavours to make your very own signature Popsicle.
Desserts
A sumptuous meal is incomplete without a decadent dessert to follow it. These DIY desserts with Taste Me will alleviate your dining experience.
Orange Loaf Cake
Begin by dissolving ½ tbsp of Taste Me orange in water. Next, beat ¾ cup butter and sugar together. Add 3 eggs and beat again. Then add ½ tsp of vanilla essence and Taste Me. Measure in ¾ cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt. Add ¾ cup of milk and mix well. Pour into a buttered and lined loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 50-60 minutes. Then in a bowl, mix 1 tbsp of Taste Me orange with ¼ cup of sugar, some orange zest and water. Poke the cake loaf and generously spoon over the zesty orange syrup and enjoy a mouthful of this sinfully simple orange loaf cake.
Mango Pie
This elegantly rich dessert is easy to make and tantalizes the palate. Start by crumbling some digestive biscuits and pour in 4 tbsp of melted butter. Press the crumble into the bottom of a pie tin. Next, combine 3 tbsp of mango Taste me with 2 tbsp of cream. Then in a bowl, mix together a tin of condensed milk, a cup of cream, 250g cream cheese with the mango-cream mix. Beat well, and pour over the crust. For added finesse you can pipe the edges with whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours. Serve chilled.
