You've heard the phrase that goes something like this: When life gives you lemons, turn them into lemonade.I got to thinking how fresh-made lemonade would be a great drink for your New Year's Eve celebration. If you are spending the night on your own, contemplating, reading, drawing, dancing, singing, playing the canjo (not a typo) or whatever, or if you are with family and friends, squeeze the lemon and follow the simple recipe below. As you raise your glass to 2016, each or all resolve to make the best of any challenges the new year may present. Simple, easy, healthy, wholesome and safe!
Lemonade by the Glass
2 tablespoons of sugar or 3 to 4 packs of stevia natural sweetener
1/4 cup hot water
2-3 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup cold water
Mix the sugar or natural sweetener in 1/4 cup of water. Microwave 30 seconds until hot and stir to dissolve sugar. Add lemon juice and the rest of the cold water. Adjust sugar/lemon ratio to taste. Serve with a couple of ice cubes. Makes an 8 ounce glass. To serve more folks, simply multiply each ingredient by the number of family members/ guests. (This is also a good math activity for the kids.)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
