Lemonade!

Soon it will be summer! Lemonade is a refreshing, sweet drink, perfect for summer, but are there different versions than classic lemonade? YES! This post will help you to make fresh, sweet, and sour lemonade that everyone will love!


Coconut Lemonade- This uses very little lemon and very little sugar, but tastes good all the same! FYI, I find it easier to make by the glasses, not in pitchers
You will need...

• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2/3 a glass of coconut water (my family uses Zico)
• half a lemon

You make it almost like any other lemonade- you mix the coconut water and the sugar first. Then squeeze in as much lemon as you like! I found about 2 teaspoons is good, but you can do more (or less) lemon.

Pink Lemonade- I found this recipe in a book and tried it a while ago- it's pretty good! Instead of sugar, you use ripe strawberries to sweeten it and to make it pink!
You will need...

• glass of water
• half a lemon (although I don't use ALL the juice)
• 2 or 3 ripe strawberries

In a micorwave safe bowl, put the strawberries and a little bit of lemon juice in the micorwave for about 35 seconds; until they start to turn mushyish. Using a fork, mush and strain the juice out into the glass. Put more lemon juice in the glass with the water and strawberry juice. What to do with the extra strawberry mush? Put it in the refridgerator- it makes a great breakfast. 

Try this- plop a few strawberries in a bag and put them in the freezer for a couple hours. The juice will freeze, and you are left with strawberry ice cubes.
