Lemons + Honey = LEMONADE! |
As I contemplated my choices, my vase full of lemons whispered to me. AAH! Lemonade! I squeezed a few lemons. I added a couple cups of water and the lemon juice into my almost empty honey jar, sealed the jar and shook away. All the sticky honey that was once stuck to the sides of the jar mixed beautifully with my lemonade.
Honey does have a distinct flavor....still good, but different...so I added a little raw sugar too. I squeezed a couple more lemons. Added more water. Vigorously shook it over my head while I did a little lemonade dance (slight exaggeration). Poured my mixture into a pitcher and....VIOLA! Lemonade!
Mission complete. I found a use for my extra honey and I had a delicious glass of lemonade as my reward.
**Sorry, no exact measurements for you. This process consisted of many taste tests to determine what was needed until it was the perfect taste of sour yet sweet lemonade.
**Did you notice the beautiful lilacs in the background? My Boy picked those for me. =) I love that kid.
Nothin' like fresh lemonade, devoid of high frutcose corn syrup. Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteWhile my son served a glass of lemonade to his friend he said, "This lemonade is homemade. Do you know what they put in the store bought lemonade?? HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! There is none of that bad stuff in my mom's lemonade." Like I said, I love that kid. ;)
