something very strange is happening

I cheat. I use bottled lemon juice and add water and sugar.

I should make some fresh squeezed though. It's been forever since I've done that.

 

Cheaters never prosper! haha

Yah, I just cut my lemons into quarters, take out as many seeds as I can and squeeze the four quarters for ten seconds each. Than I put one of the quarters into the glass with an ice cube, lots of water and just a very small pinch of sugar. Sooooo good! Sometimes I add a squirt of lemon juice too.

 

Okay, now my mouth is watering. You're going to make me go to the store and buy some lemons.

 

me too, haha, I don't even want my tea now, all this lemonade talk... the tea is now inferior. :tongue:

 

I juice like 7 or 8 lemons and fill a pitcher with water, some sugar, and lemon juice... then I pour it over ice and squeeze a lemon wedge and a couple raspberries in there. Perfection!

 

Ohhh, the raspberries sound so good in there!

Ever make strawberry lemonade? I had some at a restuarant not long ago and it was absolutely fantastic. I tried to make something like it at home and it tasted totally inferior. Nothing like what I had at the restuarant! I need to play around with it a bit I think.

 

mmmm... that may just be my next endeavor once I use up these raspberries. maybe I'll stick the strawberries and lemonade in a blender... is that what you did?

 

Yeah, I put the lemonade in my blender and added a bunch of frozen strawberries to try and make it slushy, but it just wasn't the same taste as what I had. I think maybe next time I'll add less lemonade and more stawberries?

 

kids...

 

I really don't like frozen strawberries, I would probably just use fresh strawberries and then pour it over ice... you just can't beat the flavor of fresh fruit, I try to use frozen/canned fruits and veggies as infrequently as possible.
