Archives

It has become something of a challenge for me to retain all of my podcasts in archives. So, I have decided to retain only two months. If you really, really want to hear something from earlier podcasts, please go to the About & Contact page and send me a request. I should be able to dig it up for you. Thanks!

Homemade lemonade

only takes three ingredients

 

  • 1 cup organic fresh-squeezed or bottled lemon juice

  • 5 cups cold filtered water

  • 2/3 cup organic granulated sugar

 

Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, fresh raspberries

         

Follow these simple steps:

 

First, to a 2-quart pretty glass pitcher add 1 cup lemon juice, 3 cups cold water, and 2/3 cup granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. I use a slotted spoon and count to 120 while I am stirring. The sugar is dissolved when I am done counting.

 

Second, add the last 2 cups of cold water and stir to combine.  Then refrigerate until well chilled.

 

Pour the chilled lemonade over ice cubes in tall glasses and dress it up by garnishing each glass with fresh mint, lemon slices, and/or fresh raspberries.

 

Lemonade also tastes good in a 50-50 mix with tonic water, seltzer or iced tea (an Arnold Palmer).
